enable CMP! interrupt on T_3.5

[NikoTeen]

Hi,
in this forum I found code examples for using the comparator in a Teensy 3.5.
For comparator 1 a code example used

NVIC_ENABLE_IRQ(IRQ_CMP1); // handler is now cmp1_isr()

The macro name says that it is an enable function. The comment says that with this macro cmp1_isr() is attached to the interrupt.
In kinetis.h I found the definition of NVIC_ENABLE_IRQ but I don't understand what's going on there.

Performs this macro both, enable and attach, or only one of it?

ISTR there is also a clock enable bit that allows the comparitor to function. Perhaps it was in a post by @thereminengineer (apologies)

cmp1_isr() is defined in cores\Teensy3\mk20dx128.c as shown below.

void cmp1_isr(void)		__attribute__ ((weak, alias("unused_isr")));

Further down in the same file, cmp_isr is assigned as default interrupt vector for the CMP1 interrupt. So, if you enable the interrupt, and the interrupt occurs, the default cmp1_isr() will be executed. It doesn't do anything, so the interrupt flag won't be cleared, and your program will hang. You need to implement your own cmp1_isr() in your sketch, process the interrupt and clear the flag. Because the function in the Teensy3 core is defined as "weak", the linker will use your function instead of the default.
