ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of the invention relates to a process for compression of executable code by a microprocessor, comprising steps consisting of decomposing the executable code into words; compressing each word of executable code, each compressed word of executable code comprising a part of predefined fixed length and a part of variable length whereof the length is defined by the part of fixed length; and combining all the parts of fixed length and all the parts of variable length of the words respectively into a block of parts of fixed length and in a block of parts of variable length, the respective positions of at least certain parts of variable length in the block of parts of variable length being saved in an addressing table.
