Filed: 2015-11-12
Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for controlling the use of bounded pointers. The apparatus has bounded pointer storage elements, each storing a bounded pointer and associated permission attributes indicative of allowed uses of the bounded pointer. The associated permission attributes include a copy permission attribute indicating whether the bounded pointer is allowed to be subjected to a copy operation. Processing circuitry is then responsive to instructions that specifies the copy operation, to generate, from a source bounded pointer and associated permission attributes of a source bounded pointer storage element, a destination bounded pointer and associated permission attributes to be stored in a destination bounded pointer storage element. The processing circuitry then marks the source bounded pointer storage element as storing an invalid bounded pointer if the copy permission attribute of the source bounded pointer indicates that the source bounded pointer is to be prevented from being subjected to the copy operation.
