Abstract:
A process of executing a method on a stack-based processor comprising:invoking a new method on said stack-based processor;loading an execution environment for said new method on a stack of said stack-based processor;tracking, by said stack-based processor, the portion of the execution environment for said new method loaded on said stack of said stack-based processor;starting execution of said new method by said stack-based processor prior to completion of said loading said execution environment for said new method on said stack of said stack-based processor; andsuspending execution of an instruction in said new method requiring information in said execution environment of said new method by said stack-based processor upon said stack-based processor detecting that said information in the execution environment of said new method is not on said stack of said stack-based processor as indicated by said tracking.
