ABSTRACT:
A processing system and method of operation are provided, In response to a branch instruction, a first instruction is processed so that a storage location is associated with the first instruction prior to execution of the branch instruction. In response to execution of the branch instruction, a second instruction is processed independent of information previously stored in the storage location so that the storage location is associated with the second instruction prior to completion of the branch instruction.
