Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for generating and distributing program code written initially in terms of a virtual processor (at authoring suite 10-18) and then translated (24) to the native code of a target processor (26) system. In order to improve efficiency, the virtual machine code includes pseudo-instruction generated and inserted in the code stream by the compiler stage (18) of the authoring suite. These pseudo-instruction are not translated to the native code of the target processor but instead provide guidance other than selection of registers for the operation of the translation process (24) to improve its efficiency.
