Check your processor documentation. Some processors will interrupt if you write the bit that you normally have to clear inside the interrupt. I am presently using a SiLabs c8051F344 and in the spec sheet section 9.3.1:

"Software can simulate an interrupt by setting any interrupt-pending flag to logic 1. If interrupts are enabled for the flag, an interrupt request will be generated and the CPU will vector to the ISR address associated with the interrupt-pending flag."
