Abstract:
Table of Contents (TOC)-setting instructions are replaced in code with TOC predicting instructions. A determination is made as to whether code includes an instruction sequence to compute a value of a pointer to a reference data structure, such as a TOC. Based on determining the code includes the instruction sequence, the instruction sequence in the code is replaced with a set instruction. The set instruction predicts the value of the pointer to the reference data structure.
