Abstract
Trap sub-portions of computer-readable instructions and related systems, methods, and devices are disclosed. A processing circuit includes a processing core including a program counter to cycle through addresses and a data storage device including computer-readable instructions stored thereon. Sub-portions of the computer-readable correspond to subroutines. Locations of the sub-portions within the data storage device are associated with the addresses. A first sub-portion at a first location within the data storage device is indicated by a first address. First trap sub-portions at first trap locations are indicated by first trap addresses. The first trap addresses are different from the first address by only a single bit. The first trap sub-portions instruct the processing core to execute first trap subroutines to jump to the first address or back to themselves.
