Hi,

	I'm trying to write a simple program that hooks the timer interrupt in
C++. Here's my basic strutrure:

class TIMER{
	protected:
	volatile long ticks = 0;
	new_timer_handler();
	public:
	TIMER();
	~TIMER();
};

The constructor hooks the interrupt while the destructor unhooks it,
no problem. However, since the new_timer_handler() is invoked by the
interrupt, it doesn't get passed a this pointer right? So I am then
unable to reference the ticks variable since I don't know for which
specific instance of the object the interrupt has hooked. Does anyone
know a way how to solve this, I'm relatively new to C++.

Thanks,
