Abstract
In a change-resilient intermediate language code, registers have been allocated but symbolic references and pseudo instructions still use unbound items. Pseudo instructions having a specific location within generated intermediate language code request insertion of machine instruction(s) at the location to perform specified operations. Specified operations may include, for example, operations to perform or facilitate garbage collection, memory allocation, exception handling, various kinds of method calls and execution engine service calls, managed object field access, heap management, generic code, static variable storage access, address mode modification, and/or symbolic reference to types. A binder may transform the intermediate language code into executable code. Little or no register allocation is needed during binding, but unbound items such as offsets, sizes, slots, and the like are determined and specified to produce executable code.
