on those two lines?</li>
|

|
<li>Answer: On Line 6 and Line 8, the register %eax is used as a loop
|
|
|
increment or a loop counter, expressing the number of times the loop
|
|
|
executes. At every loop iteration, %eax is incremented by 1 (Line 6)
|
|
|
then compare to y (Line 8). The loop terminates when %eax equals
|
|
|
the value of y (the power to which we are raising x).</li>

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>So, it seems that result = 128
|
|
|
What is the bit pattern of 128?
|
|
|
Interpreting 128 as an unsigned char we get:
|
|
|
B2U(10000000) -> <span class="katex"><span class="katex-mathml"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msup><mn>2</mn><mn>7</mn></msup></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">2^7</annotation></semantics></math></span><span class="katex-html" aria-hidden="true"><span class="base"><span class="strut" style="height:0.8141079999999999em;vertical-align:0em;"></span><span class="mord"><span class="mord">2</span><span class="msupsub"><span class="vlist-t"><span class="vlist-r"><span class="vlist" style="height:0.8141079999999999em;"><span style="top:-3.063em;margin-right:0.05em;"><span class="pstrut" style="height:2.7em;"></span><span class="sizing reset-size6 size3 mtight"><span class="mord mtight">7</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> -> 128
|
|
|
but we cannot interpret 128 as a signed char
|
|
|
because 128 is outside the range of signed char
|
|
|
-> [-128 .. 127], so the bit pattern 10000000
|
|
|
interpreted as a signed char is -128
|
|
|
Therefore even though it seems that
|
|
|
result = 128 (10000000)
|
|
|
It is actually the case that
|
|
|
result = -128
|
|
|
return result i.e., -128</p>

<p>Promoting y to 32 bits as an unsigned i.e. padding with 0’s: 0xDECAF000 > 0x0000CAFE without a calculator, we can see that these 32

bits 0xDECAF000, interpreted as an unsigned
|
|
|
value, will be > than 0x0000CAFE, also
|
|

interpreted as an unsigned value.
|

So, Caf is printed on the computer monitor screen

<p>Casting y to 16 bits as a signed i.e. interpreting 0xCAFE as a signed value and promoting it to 32 bits still as a signed i.e.

padding with 1’s: 0xFFFFCAFE
|
|
|
0xDECAF000 < 0xFFFFCAFE
|
|
|
without a calculator, we can see that these 32
|

bits 0xDECAF000, interpreted as a signed value,
|
|
|
will represent a larger negative value than
|
|
|
0xFFFFCAFE, also interpreted as a signed value
|
|
|
Remember from previous questions that 0xFE =

0xFFFE = 0xFFFFFFFE = -2

So, Decaf is printed on the computer monitor

|
|
|
<p>Casting x (0xDECAF000) to a char -> 8 bits, we
|
|
|
get 0x00 = 0 (unsigned value)
|
|
|
promoting it to 16 bits still gives us 0
|
|
|
0x0000 > 0xCAFE
|
|
|
without a calculator, we can see that this is not
|
|
|
the case.
|
|
|
So, Latte is NOT printed on the computer monitor

screen of target machine.</p>

<p>The answer (Caf Decaf) is not one of the options.</p>
