Program construct and methods/systems for optimizing assembled code for execution

A programed computer system for enhancing processor execution of a compilable high-level language, conditional code segment having at least two associated conditional paths, said programmed computer system comprising:

• means for associating a different one of at least two probability compiler directives with each conditional path of said conditional code segment, each associated probability compiler directive being assigned an approximate probability for satisfying a test condition of the associated conditional path when said path is taken by a processor;
• and
• means for compiling said conditional code segment, using said programmed computer system, into an assembled code segment according to the assigned probabilities of said probability compiler directives, said means for compiling including means for arranging said assembled code segment such that said conditional paths are placed in said assembled code segment in a manner that results in a shortest possible execution time for said processor.

A programmed computer having a memory, said memory having a conditional code segment of a compilable high-level language disposed therein, said conditional code segment comprising:

• at least two associated conditional paths;
• and
• at least two probability compiler directives, each probability compiler directive being associated with a different one of said at least two conditional paths, and each probability compiler directive indicating an approximate probability for satisfying a test condition of the associated conditional path when said conditional code segment is executed by said programmed computer.
