Abstract

An improved system utility using pointers and stacks and a method for high level language procedure for representing, storing, retrieving, processing, and/or manipulating documents, said system utilities facilitates compilation, linkage, processing, and management of said high level language procedures. Call, return, and auxiliary stacks are included to store pointers of normal, exceptional/conditional, and alternative operations. A bit mapping logic and smart object memory are used to look ahead, monitor, and predict forthcoming exceptional/conditional operation, a system look-up table further prefetch relevant procedural and data pointers for maintaining pipeline coherence.
