What would happen if interrupts were checked and processed during the middle of an execution cycle instead of after the execution cycle has completed?

Solution

If an interrupt were checked and processed during the middle of an execution cycle instead of after the execution cycle has completed:

Interrupts are usually checked at the end of each instruction. This assures, the condition you specified won\'t arise. If an interrupt occurs during the execution of an instruction, the current instruction being executed will be completed, and then the interrupt will be served.
