Abstract
A method, apparatus, and program product execute instructions of an instruction stream and detect logically non-significant operations in the instruction stream. Then, based on that detection, a target or source address of a subsequent instruction is adjusted. In some instances, doing so enables a greater number of addresses, e.g., registers, to be accessed in a given number of bit positions within an instruction format.
