In the operation of a computer, a plurality of bytecode or pseudocode instructions, at least some of the pseudocode instructions comprising a plurality of machine code instructions, are stored in a computer memory. For each of a plurality of tasks or jobs to be performed by the computer, a respective virtual thread of execution context data is automatically created. The virtual threads each include (a) a memory location of a next one of the pseudocode instructions to be executed in carrying out the respective task or job and (b) the values of any local variables required for carrying out the respective task or job. At least some of the tasks or jobs each entails execution of a respective one of the pseudocode instructions comprising a plurality of machine language instructions. Each of the tasks or jobs are processed in a respective series of time slices or processing slots under the control of the respective virtual thread, and, in every context switch between different virtual threads, such context switch is undertaken only after completed execution of a currently executing one of the pseudocode instructions.

A method is provided for tracking the type of at least one local variable after calling a subroutine. The exemplary method associates each one of a plurality of branch instructions calling the subroutine with a first information, which indicates the type of value stored in the local variable when each one of the plurality of branch instructions is executed. The exemplary method associates at least one execution point-of-interest within the subroutine with a second information. The execution point-of-interest is any point within the subroutine where it may be necessary to ascertain the type of each local variable. The second information is a data structure indicating a change in type made to the local variable after entering the subroutine and before the execution point-of-interest. The exemplary method associates the execution point-of-interest with a return address for the subroutine. This return address enables the method to identify the point in the calling program from which the current subroutine was called. When a request is received to identify the type of the local variable at the execution point-of-interest in the subroutine, the exemplary method obtains a second map from the second information using the execution point-of-interest. The second map indicates the change in type of the local variable made within the subroutine. The method also obtains the return address associated with the execution point-of-interest, and obtains a first map from the first information using the return address. The first map indicates the type of value stored in the local variable when one of the branch instructions is executed to call the subroutine. Given the first and second maps, the exemplary method merges the first map with the second map to identify a current type for the local variable. In performing this merge, the method combines the type status of the local variable as modified by the subroutine with the type status of the local variable as it stood before calling the subroutine.

Individual test executive sequences may correspond to individual sub-components of a hierarchical system. To test a system sub-component directly without testing “upper” sub-components in the hierarchy, a first test executive sequence corresponding to that system sub-component may be executed directly, without requiring execution of test executive sequences above the first test executive sequence in the hierarchy, or requiring only partial execution of test executive sequences above the first test executive sequence in the hierarchy. Another embodiment of the invention comprises a system and method for enabling propagation or inheritance of test executive sequence local variables.

A software method for obtaining an address of a thread-local variable while executing a computer program is described. The method designates a memory location to store an address of a function.

The resolver can be a lazy resolver function or other resolver functions optimized for specific modules or variables.

A tool is provided for modifying the code of a multi-threaded computer program undergoing testing. The program executes in an environment that has a governing memory model.

Techniques for generation of Java™ macro instructions suitable for use in Java™ computing environments are disclosed. As such, the techniques can be implemented in a Java™ virtual machine to efficiently execute Java™ instructions. As will be appreciated, a Java™ macro instruction can be substituted for two or more Java™ Bytecode instructions. This, in turn, reduces the number of Java™ instructions that are executed by the interpreter. As a result, the performance of virtual machines, especially those operating with limited resources, is improved. A Java™ macro instruction can be generated for conventional Java™ instruction sequences or sequences of Java™ instruction that are provided in a reduced set of instruction. In any case, sequences that are frequently encountered can be replaced by a Java™ macro instruction. These sequences are typically encountered when Java™ objects are instantiated, during programming loops, and when a local variables are assigned a value.
