The Bell Labs C Machine project is investigating computer architectures to support the C programming language.1 One of the goals is to match an efficient architecture to the language and the compiler technology available. Measurements of different C programs show that roughly one out of every twenty instructions executed is either a procedure call or return.2 Procedure call overhead is therefore a very important consideration in the overall machine design. A second and related area of primary… Expand
