Abstract
A system of the invention has a compiler for converting a conditional branch instruction, located in a source program being converted into an object program, into a conditional branch instruction having a flag field in which data is set representing whether a branch has been made. A load module generated from the object program through a linker is stored in a main memory. An instruction fetched from the main memory is decoded by an instruction decoder. A branch condition determination section determines if the instruction is 'branch' or 'through' and changes the flag field data. The program, now including a conditional branch instruction with the changed data, is rewritten into the load module.
