For this exercise, we will examine the code generated by GCC for functions that have structures as arguments and return values, and from this see how these language features are typically implemented.
The following C code has a function process having structures as argument and return values, and a function values, and a function eval that tails process.
Gcc generates the following code for these two functions:
A. We can see on line 2 of function eval that it allocates 104 bytes on the stack. Diagram the stack frame for oval, showing the:Nal= that it stores on the stack prior to calling process. B. What value does eval pass in its call to process?
C. How does the code for process access the elements of structure arguments?
D. How does the code for pro cess set the fields of result structure r?
E. Complete your diagram of the stack frame for eval, showing how eval accesses the elements of structure r following the return from process.
F. What general principles can you discern about how structure values are passed as function arguments and how they are returned as function results?

- How to create a java code with the scenario below? Patriot Ships is a new cruise line company which has a fleet of 10 cruise ships, each with a capacity of 300 passengers. To manage its operations efficiently, the company is looking for a program that can help track its fleet, manage bookings, and calculate revenue for each cruise. Each cruise is tracked by a Cruise Identifier (must be 5 characters long), cruise route (e.g. Miami to Nassau), and ticket price. The program should also track how many tickets have been sold for each cruise. Create an object-oriented solution with a menu that allows a user to select one of the following options: 1. Create Cruise – This option allows a user to create a new cruise by entering all necessary details (Cruise ID, route, ticket price). If the maximum number of cruises has already been created, display an error message. 2. Search Cruise – This option allows to search a cruise by the user provided cruise ID. 3. Remove Cruise – This op on allows a…arrow_forwardI need help with this problem and an explanation of the solution for the image described below.

Tasks You are required to: 1. Decode each instruction based on the LC-3 instruction set and complete the last column in the table above. Provide a clear description of the function of each instruction. LC-3 Table is included in the slides. 2. Update register (any register invovled) values step by step after executing each instruction. Hints Use the LC-3 instruction set reference (Lecture X) to decode instructions accurately. ⚫ Keep track of register dependencies some instructions modify registers that are used later. Consider the effects of instructions like AND R1, RO, #0, which effectively clears the destination register. For the STR instruction, remember that the effective address is calculated as Base Register + Offset (sign-extended).…arrow_forwardhttps://personalpages.bradley.edu/~olekmali/class_notes/ece-x72/homework/4_code.tar.gz https://personalpages.bradley.edu/~olekmali/class_notes/ece-x72/homework/4_http_multi.cpp.HTML http://localhost:8081/arrow_forwardAssignment cution nderstanding ruction Exe- In the LC-3 architecture, memory accesses occur through the Memory Address Register (MAR) and the Memory Data Register (MDR). These registers facilitate LOAD (LD) and STORE (ST) instructions by temporarily holding addresses and data during memory operations. Given Information ⚫ The system has a 16-bit address bus and a 16-bit data bus. ⚫ The MAR is 16 bits wide and holds the memory address for read/write operations. • The MDR is 16 bits wide and temporarily stores data being read from or written to memory. At the beginning, memory and registers are initialized as follows: Initial Register Values: • R1 = x4000 • R2 = x4001 ⚫ R3 = x0000 (used as the destination register for load) • MAR = x0000 • MDR = x0000 Initial Memory Contents: M[x4000]=x1234, M[24001] = x5678 The following LC-3 instructions are executed sequentially: LD R3, x4000 ST R3, x4001 ; Load value from memory address x4000 into R3 ; Store value from R3 into memory address x4001…arrow_forward
