Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pointer is for pointing to a next-to-read location within a stack of information. For pushing information onto the stack: a value is saved of the pointer, which points to a first location within the stack as being the next-to-read location; the pointer is updated so that it points to a second location within the stack as being the next-to-read location; and the information is written for storage at the second location. For popping the information from the stack: in response to the pointer, the information is read from the second location as the next-to-read location; and the pointer is restored to equal the saved value so that it points to the first location as being the next-to-read location.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of operating a stack of information, wherein a first pointer is for pointing to a next-to-read location within the stack and a second pointer is for pointing to a next-to-write location within the stack, and wherein each stack entry includes an address field storing an operand of a push operation and an index field storing an index of a stack entry being a predecessor to the first pointer, and wherein the method is performed by an information handlin…
