ADC interrupt never gets called

Hi, i'm struggling with this piece of code here:

int main(void){
	UART2_Tx_init();
	ADC_interrupt_init();
 
 
	while(1){
 
	}
 
}
 
/***********ADC***********/
 
void ADC_interrupt_init(void){
	RCC->AHB1ENR |= (1U<<0); //GPIOA clock enable
	GPIOA->MODER |= ((1U<<10) | (1U<<11)); //set PA5 analog  mode
	RCC->APB2ENR |= (1U<<8);//ADC1 clock enable
	ADC1->SQR3 |= (0x05<<0); //Ch5 in 1st regular sequence
	ADC1->SQR1=0;//only 1 ch used
	ADC1->CR1 |= (1U<<5);//EOCIE: end of conversion interrupt
	NVIC_EnableIRQ(ADC_IRQn);//enable ADC interrupt in NVIC
	ADC1->CR2 |= (1U<<1); //CONT: continuous conversion
	ADC1->CR2 |= (1U<<0);//ADON: enable ADC
	ADC1->CR2 |= (1U<<30); //SWSTART: start conversion
}
 
void ADC_IRQHandler(void){
 
	if((ADC1->SR & ADC_SR_EOC)!=0) //Check if end-of-conversion interrupt occurred
	{
 
		ADC1->SR &= ~ADC_SR_EOC; //Clear EOC flag
		uint32_t adc_value = ADC1->DR;
		printf("%d \n\r", (int)adc_value);
	}
 
}

I'm trying to get an interrupt every time the ADC module complete a conversion and then print the result through an USART interface. I tried the USART interface separately and it seems work fine. Also the ADC1-DR register gets increased or decreased by the action of the potentiometer. The problem in my opinion is that the interrupt function "void ADC_IRQHandler(void)" never gets called so i'm trying to understand why. Someone have an idea? I'm using an STM32F401RE. Thanks in advance

How are you inferring that ADC_IRQHanlder isn't called? Just no printf output or are you debugging with a breakpoint to verify?

Is this C or C++? If the latter, need correct linkage.

ADC and IRQ setup looks correct. Examine registers to verify they are as you have set them.

First of all, thank you for your answer. This is a C program and I assume that printf and UART both works because I tried them in the while loop (whitout using any interupt) and no problem occurred. I said that ADC_IRQHanlder probably isn't called because I also tried to execute some other thing inside it rather than the UART printf stuff and none of them works. Also the EOC flag never gets cleared .
