Abstract
A method for enforcing an instruction pointer limit in a processor, wherein a retire circuit determines a speculative instruction pointer for a set of retiring instruction during a retirement operation. The retire circuit also determines whether each speculative instruction pointer exceeds the instruction pointer limit. The retire circuit commits the result data value of each instruction to the architectural state if the speculative instruction pointer for the result data value does not exceed the instruction pointer limit.
