  • Method and apparatus for handling invalid opcode faults via execution of an event-signaling micro-operation
    Patent number: 5881279
    Abstract: A microprocessor that handles invalid opcodes via an event-signaling micro-operation is disclosed. The microprocessor comprises a decoder that decodes macroinstructions, including an opcode, into a single microprocessor cycle micro-operation. The decoder detects invalid opcodes and replaces the invalid opcodes with an event-signaling micro-operation that triggers an invalid opcode assist. The invalid opcode assist triggers an invalid opcode exception handler that processes the invalid opcode.
