Table of Contents
Memory and M/L
This lecture covers memory segments, memory variables, memory instructions, the role of the stack, and machine language (M/L).
Outline
- The Memory Map
- Declaration of Variables in
.data
- The Load/Store Family
- Spilling Data to the stack
- Stack Frames for method invocation
- Creating a machine language program
- Instruction Formats
- Techniques for handling large immediates
Big Ideas
- Classes and objects are on the heap
- Code is in .text
- Everything else is in a stack frame on the stack
- Implementing Recursion
- Fixing the instruction size and varying the format is a good compromise between the simplicity of regularity and the inefficiency of variable-size instructions.
Slides from Lecture
To Do
- Go over the files in the Resource Directory
- Do the homework given in class (Math.min using stack frames).
- Do the homework given in class (translation of the given Recursive.java program).
- Read all the sections that we skipped in Chapter 2 (Chapter 3 if you have the old version).
- Go over the lectures, the readings, and the labs in preparation for next week's test.
