A repeat instruction (RPT) operates on one or more operands, but the RPT instruction includes only an opcode and does not specify locations of the operand or operands. The type of operation to be performed when the RPT instruction is executed depends upon an initial instruction. If, for example, the initial instruction is an ADD, then the RPT instruction causes an ADC operation to be performed, thereby facilitating efficient coding of an extended precision addition operation. The locations of the operands for the RPT instruction are assumed to be in predetermined memory locations. When coding a repeated operation, rather than following the initial instruction with one or more instructions of the same form, the initial instruction is followed by one or more of the shorter RPT instructions, thereby conserving memory space and facilitating backward compatibility with an instruction set that does not have the RPT instruction.

Methods for shared memory reclamation and local reuse and their combination, and methods for transforming function definitions in an object-oriented programming environment such that said shared memory reclamation and local reuse methods are implemented in source code and require no additional memory or CPU resources at run time. Each method causes a subtype field to be attached to every object, thus enabling decisions as to whether the memory referenced by an object can be deallocated or reallocated. The subtype field further supports the elimination of trivial deep copies and the implementation of value semantics.

A system for providing cross-exception event handling is provided. The system allows a source thread to throw an event (e.g., exception) as part of structured event handling of a programming language that specifies a target thread. When the event is thrown, the source thread starts a handler thread to handle the event in a current context of the target thread. The handler thread is passed an indication of the event and the target thread and sets its context to be consistent with that of handling events in the target thread. The handler thread then handles the event. The source thread may continue its execution in parallel or may terminate its execution as specified in a statement that threw the event. Execution of the target thread may be aborted and its execution continued at an exit statement of an enclosing structured event handling construct—as specified when the event was thrown.
