ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a novel method for processing short branch instructions for branches between program modules into which a computer program is divided. The method comprises the following steps. It is verified that a branching location for a short branch instruction is outside a branch-enable bound that a branch can be made in accordance with the short branch instruction, wherein the branching location is a location to which the branch is about to be made in accordance with the short branch instruction. Any empty region is searched in the branch-enable bound. A long branch instruction is generated on the empty region. The branching location is amended into an address to which the branch will be made in accordance with the long branch instruction.
