A system and method for reducing the number of aborts caused by a runtime helper being called during the execution of a transaction block. When a runtime helper is called during the execution of a transaction block while a program using hardware transactional memory is running, the runtime helper passes ID information indicating the type of runtime helper to an abort handler. When there is an abort caused by a call to a runtime helper, the abort handler responds by acquiring the ID information of the runtime helper that caused the abort, disables the transaction block with respect to a specific type of runtime helper, executes the non-transactional path corresponding to the transaction block, and re-enables the transaction block when predetermined conditions are satisfied. |
