Implicit memory corruption detection for conditional data types

A method, comprising:

• fetching an instruction having fields for an opcode, a destination operand, and a source operand;
• decoding the instruction according to the opcode;
• retrieving data associated with the source operand;
• scheduling execution of the decoded instruction;
• and
• executing the decoded instruction to generate an exception when a value of the source operand is not a first value and not a second value, execute a next instruction when the value of the source operand is the first value, and jump to a destination indicated by the destination operand when the value of the source operand is the second value.

At least one tangible machine-readable non-transitory medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed by a processor cause the processor to:

• fetch an instruction having fields for an opcode, a destination operand, and a source operand;
• decode the instruction according to the opcode;
• retrieve data associated with the source operand;
• schedule execution of the decoded instruction;
• and
• execute the decoded instruction to generate an exception when a value of the source operand is not a first value and not a second value, execute a next instruction when the value of the source operand is the first value, and jump to a destination indicated by the destination operand when the value of the source operand is the second value.
