Summary:In a front-end system for a processor, a recording scheme for instruction segments stores the instructions in reverse program order. Instruction segments may be traces, extended blocks or basic blocks. By storing the instructions in reverse program order, the instruction segment is easily extended to include additional instructions. The instruction segments may be extended without having to re-index tag arrays, pointers that associate instruction segments with other instruction segments.
