System for allocating common memory in cache such that data is maintained when exiting first programming structure and entering second programming structure

A method for creating an inter-task buffer comprising the steps of:

• adding a first task that specifies a first buffer by a first pointer, wherein said buffer is added to an inter-task buffer out list, such that said first new task opens said buffer;
• and
• allocating a location in memory for the first buffer;
• adding a second task directly after said first task that specifies a second buffer by a second pointer, wherein the step of adding a second task comprises the step of directing the second pointer to the first buffer allocated in memory, such that said second new task closes said inter-task buffer;
• and,
• adding zero or more additional tasks between the open and close task that utilize the first buffer, such that multiple tasks use the first buffer.

A method of allowing a First-In/First-Out (FIFO) to connect to an AIAO input or output buffer, said method comprising the steps of:

• converting an AIAO secondary container function to a FIFO access;
• attaching a FIFO status to a AIAO section;
• setting at least one flag associated with said AIAO section;
• specifying a direction of the data flow.

A method of allocating a Half-In/Half-Out (HIHO) of a predetermined size to connect to an AIAO input or output buffer, said method comprising the steps of:

• converting a AIAO secondary container function to a HIHO access;
• setting flags for a header of a module such that two section tables are allocated;
• and
• setting the flags associated with a HIHO section of the HIHO to allow access to the two section tables individually.

A method of making connections between a plurality of executable programming data structures that are executed in a processing system having a caching mechanism, wherein said data structures comprise executable program code to perform a predetermined function upon execution and at least one section and wherein said at least one section is associated with a primary container and capable of being associated with a secondary container, wherein the caching mechanism moves data between the secondary and primary containers prior to and after execution of the structure, wherein said at least one section is associated with a plurality of flags and type data, said plurality of flags including at least a save flag, a load flag and a clear flag, said method comprising the steps of:

• specifying said at least one section as a buffer;
• specifying a direction of the data flow to indicate the function of the buffer;
• and
• setting the flags, such that when said caching mechanism caches said plurality of executable programming data structures and the plurality of executable data structures are executed the data flow moves between the secondary and primary containers according to the direction.
