Abstract

Instruction execution is facilitated by employing a buffer to handle instructions having special circumstances. When such an instruction is to be executed, a pointer of the instruction is directed to the buffer. The instruction is executed from the buffer and then the pointer is recovered to point to a location other than the buffer.
