Abstract
A processor executes an instruction that causes a comparison to be performed between contents of a first register and contents of a second register and between the contents of the first register and a predetermined value. The instruction is particularly useful for determining whether an attempted access (either a load or write) to an array improperly targets a location outside the boundary of the array. In some embodiments, a system (e.g., a communication device such as cellular telephone) includes a processor capable of executing the instruction as described above.
