Abstract
Coding circuitry comprises at least an encoder configured to encode an instruction address for transmission to a decoder. The encoder is operative to identify the instruction address as belonging to a particular one of a plurality of groups of instruction addresses associated with respective distinct program constructs, and to encode the instruction address based on the identified group. The decoder is operative to identify the encoded instruction address as belonging to the particular one of a plurality of groups of instruction addresses associated with respective distinct program constructs, and to decode the encoded instruction address based on the identified group. The coding circuitry may be implemented as part of an integrated circuit or other processing device that includes associated processor and memory elements. In such an arrangement, the processor may generate the instruction address for delivery over a bus to the memory.
