PREDICATE ATTRIBUTE TRACKER

In an embodiment, a processor includes a register attribute tracker configured to track one or more attributes corresponding to registers. The register attribute tracker may track the attributes associated with the registers when those registers are used as output registers of instructions that explicitly define the attributes and, if the register attribute tracker has a tracked attribute associated with an input register of an instruction that does not explicitly define the attribute, the register attribute tracker may annotate the instruction with an attribute and/or associate an attribute with the output register of the instruction in the register attribute tracker.
