A compiler module for providing instruction signature support to a compiler includes a language construct identifier and a placeholder insertion component. The language construct identifier is configured to identify an instruction signature-relevant language construct in a high level language source code supplied to the compiler. The placeholder insertion component is configured to interact with the compiler for inserting at least one instruction signature-related placeholder based on the instruction signature-related language construct into a compiled code processed by the compiler on the basis of the high level language source code.
