Method for improved code generation in reduced instruction set computers

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method for efficient generation of compiled code is presented in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention. In order to gain significant performance advantage with a minimum of code expansion out-of-line code, sequences are used. An out-of-line code sequence is a series of instructions that are invoked by a simplified calling mechanism in which almost no state-saving is required. Additionally out-of-line code sequences is designed so that a single copy can exist on a system and all processes running on that system can access it. A series of out-of-line code sequences can be generated, each member of the series being tailored to a particular combination of …
