Explanation of Solution

Gates and circuits:

  • A gate is a device which is used to perform the basic operation by accepting one or more inputs and produces the single output.
  • The circuit is a combination of the gates to achieve a specific task.
  • There are three different methods to express the processing of gates and circuits. They are,
    • Boolean expression
    • Logic diagrams
    • Truth tables
  • The Boolean expression is a mathematical notation to express the function.
    • For example: Boolean expression for the NOT gate.

X = A¯

  • The logic diagram is a graphical representation of the circuits to express the function.
    • For example: Logic diagram for the NOT gate takes a single input and generates a single output.

COMPUTER SCIENCE ILLUMINATED, Chapter 4, Problem 1E

  • The truth table is a table containing all possible inputs and the corresponding output values.
    • For example: Truth table for the NOT gate.
AX = A¯
01
10
  • The above three types are just different ways of representing the same process.
  • Hence, the logic diagrams and truth tables are equally powerful notational methods for describing the behavior of gates and circuits.

The next problem concerns the following C code: /copy input string x to buf */ void foo (char *x) { char buf [8]; strcpy((char *) buf, x); } void callfoo() { } foo("ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA"); Here is the corresponding machine code on a Linux/x86 machine: 0000000000400530 : 400530: 48 83 ec 18 sub $0x18,%rsp 400534: 48 89 fe mov %rdi, %rsi 400537: 48 89 e7 mov %rsp,%rdi 40053a: e8 di fe ff ff callq 400410 40053f: 48 83 c4 18 add $0x18,%rsp 400543: c3 retq 400544: 0000000000400544 : 48 83 ec 08 sub $0x8,%rsp 400548: bf 00 06 40 00 mov $0x400600,%edi 40054d: e8 de ff ff ff callq 400530 400552: 48 83 c4 08 add $0x8,%rsp 400556: c3 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:
1234 3. Which line prevents compiler optimization? Circle one: 1234 Suggested solution: Store strlen(str) in a variable before the if statement. ⚫ Remove the if statement. Replace index 0 && index < strlen(str)) { 5 } } = str [index] = val;
Character Hex value | Character Hex value Character Hex value 'A' 0x41 'J' Ox4a 'S' 0x53 'B' 0x42 'K' 0x4b "T" 0x54 0x43 'L' Ox4c 'U' 0x55 0x44 'M' 0x4d 'V' 0x56 0x45 'N' Ox4e 'W' 0x57 0x46 '0' Ox4f 'X' 0x58 0x47 'P' 0x50 'Y' 0x59 0x48 'Q' 0x51 'Z' Ox5a 'T' 0x49 'R' 0x52 '\0' 0x00 Now consider what happens on a Linux/x86 machine when callfoo calls foo with the input string "ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA". A. On the left draw the state of the stack just before the execution of the instruction at address Ox40053a; make sure to show the frames for callfoo and foo and the exact return address, in Hex at the bottom of the callfoo frame. Then, on the right, draw the state of the stack just after the instruction got executed; make sure to show where the string "ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA" is placed and what part, if any, of the above return address has been overwritten. B. Immediately after the ret instruction at address 0x400543 executes, what is the value of the program counter register %rip?…
