Chapter 2.1, Problem 12STQ
In the
that symbol = ‘7’;
System.out.printin((int) symbol);
Thus, (int) symbol does not produce the number corresponding to the digit in symbol. Can you write an expression that will work to produce the integer that intuitively corresponds to the digit in symbol, assuming that symbol contains one of the ten digits 0 through 9? (Hint: The digits do correspond to consecutive integers so if (int) ‘7’ is 55, then(int) ‘8’ is 56.)

This problem tests your understanding of the program stack. Here are some notes to
help you work the problem:
⚫ strcpy(char *dst, char *src) copies the string at address src (including
the terminating '\0' character) to address dst. It does not check the size of
the destination buffer.
• You will need to know the hex values of the following characters:
Consider the following assembly code for a C for loop:
movl $0, %eax
jmp
.L2
.L3:
addq
$1, %rdi
addq
%rsi, %rax
subq
$1, %rsi
.L2:
cmpq
%rsi, %rdi
jl
.L3
addq
ret
%rdi, %rax
Based on the assembly code above, fill in the blanks below in its corresponding C
source code. Recall that registers %rdi and %rsi contain the first and second, respectively,
argument of a function. (Note: you may only use the symbolic variables x, y, and
result in your expressions below do not use register names.)
long loop (long x, long y)
{
long result;
}
for (
}
return result;
__; y--) {
In each of the following C code snippets, there are issues that can prevent the compiler
from applying certain optimizations. For each snippet:
Circle the line number that contains compiler optimization blocker.
⚫ Select the best modification to improve optimization.
1. Which line prevents compiler optimization? Circle one: 2 3 4 5 6
Suggested solution:
⚫ Remove printf or move it outside the loop.
Remove the loop.
• Replace arr[i] with a constant value.
1 int sum (int *arr, int n) {
2
int s = 0;
3
for (int i
=
0; i < n; i++) {
4
5
6
}
7
8 }
s = arr[i];
printf("%d\n", s);
return s;
234206
2. Which line prevents compiler optimization? Circle one: 2 3 4 5 6
Suggested solution:
Move or eliminate do_extra_work() if it's not necessary inside the loop.
Remove the loop (but what about scaling?).
⚫ Replace arr[i] *= factor; with arr[i] = 0; (why would that help?).
1 void scale (int *arr, int n, int factor) {
5
6 }
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
rr[i] = factor;
do_extra_work ();

- 123456 A ROP (Return-Oriented Programming) attack can be used to execute arbitrary instructions by chaining together small pieces of code called "gadgets." Your goal is to create a stack layout for a ROP attack that calls a function located at '0x4018bd3'. Below is the assembly code for the function 'getbuf', which allocates 8 bytes of stack space for a 'char' array. This array is then passed to the 'gets' function. Additionally, you are provided with five useful gadgets and their addresses. Use these gadgets to construct the stack layout.
