Apparatus comprises a processor configured for operation under a sequence of instructions from an instruction set, wherein said processor comprises: means for conditionally inhibiting at least one type of trap, interrupt or exception (TIE) event, wherein, when operating under a sequence of instructions, said inhibition means is inaccessible by said instructions to inhibit the or each type of TIE event, without interrupting said sequence. A data processing apparatus includes a processor adapted to operate under control of program code comprising instructions selected from an instruction set, the apparatus comprising: a predefined memory space providing a predefined addressable memory for storing program code and data, a larger memory space providing a larger addressable memory, means for accessing program code and data within the predefined memory space, and means for controlling the access means so as to enable the access means to access program code located within the larger memory space.
