Abstract
The present invention provides an improved interpreter for stack-based languages. In one embodiment, a method includes executing a first interpreter for a first state, and executing a second interpreter for a second state. In particular, the first state indicates that no elements of a stack are stored in registers of a microprocessor, and a second state indicates that an element of the stack is stored in a register of the microprocessor.
