Is CreateHandler() a function or CREATE_HANDLER() a macro? Please advise
what I should use.

Are these non-GNU based compilers also targeting ARM/Cortex? 
Then we should care. Maybe the configurator could expand the functions
then. Or an additional program.

The problem are the 80+ different Interrupts on Cortex. It's tedious and
errorprone to instantiate the handlers by hand. With the former way, the
interrupt controll function was also different for all handlers and so
resultet in more flash usage. Flash usage is now traded off against more
irq controll function arguments.
