Description
The innovations comprised in this disclosure include the following:
1. Extensions to the standard Java byte code instruction set to enable efficient run-time isolation of pointer variables from non-pointer variables. The extended byte codes are described as the PERC instruction set.
2. A mechanism to translate traditional Java byte codes into the extended PERC byte codes at run-time, as new Java byte codes are loaded into the virtual machine's execution environment.
