1. A processor architecture in which the access to a memory occurs via pointers which refer to objects, characterized in that pointers are stored in a pointer area and data is stored in a data area separately from one another in the objects, the pointers containing a memory address of the object to which they refer and the objects being provided with attributes which are stored in the object itself and which describe a length of the pointer area and a length of the data area, and the processor provides a register set with separate data and pointer registers, of which the pointer registers are used for the access to objects in the memory.
