Note

• The example above includes ARM/Thumb interworking code. func2 may be called from ARM or Thumb mode code.
• If func2 is only called from ARM mode code, you may omit the veneer code for Thumb entry and you may use the instruction LDMIA R13!,{R15} instead of the LDMIA R13!,{R3}; BX R3 combination to return from the function.
