BINARY-CODE TRANSLATION DEVICE AND METHOD

Abstract

A binary-code translation device includes a translation circuit, a memory and a processor. The processor executes a first program code translated from a second code by the translation circuit. The first program code is temporarily stored in the memory and has a program execution address. At least one function library is temporarily stored in the memory and includes a first and a second function, which are located at a first and a second function address in the memory respectively. When the processor is still executing the first program code and calls the first function, the translation circuit translates the first program code to acquire the second function subsequent to the first function, and the processor acquires the second function address. When the first program code calls the first function and the first function is executed completely, the processor directly executes the second function without returning to the program execution address.
