Programmumsetzungseinheit und verbesserter Prozessor für Adressierung

摘要

The present invention discloses a program converting unit for generating a machine language instruction from a source program for a processor that manages an N-bit address while processing M-bit data, N being greater than M, and such a processor that runs the converted program. The program converting unit comprising: a parameter holding unit for holding a data width and a pointer width designated by a user, the data width representing the number of bits of data used in the source program while the pointer width representing the number of bits of an address; and a generating unit for generating an instruction to manage the data width when a variable operated by the instruction represents the data, and for generating an instruction to manage the pointer width when a variable operated by the instruction represents the address.
