Abstract
An allocation instructions and an extension instructions allow a program to continue to execute even when the program requires more stack space than has been allocated to the program. The methods and systems thereby allow programs to run to completion in more situations than programs running in conventional data processing systems. As a result, the programs avoid wasting computing resources by terminating prematurely, without producing results.
