A.

Program Plan Intro

Given code:

//Include the necessary header files

#include <stdio.h>

#include "csapp.h"

//Define a main()

int main()

{

//Initialize the variable x as 1

int x=1;

//Check the condition

if(fork()==0)

//Print the statement

printf("p1: x=%d\n", ++x);

//Print the statement

printf("p2: x=%d\n", --x);

//Exit

exit(0);

}

Explanation:

The given code is used to print the output of the child and parent processes.

In the given code, the main program initializes the variable “x” as “1”.

  • The “if” condition check, function “fork()” is equal to zero.
    • Condition is true, print the value of “x” by incrementing “1”. So, the value of “x” becomes “2”.
  • Otherwise, print the value of “x” by decrementing “1”. So, the value of “x” becomes “1”.
  • Exit from the program.

B.

Explanation of Solution

Output of the parent process:

P2: x = 0

Explanation:

In the given code, the main program initializes the variable “x” as “1”.

  • The parent process check the condition, if the function “fork()” is equal to zero...

Programming Problems 9.28 Assume that a system has a 32-bit virtual address with a 4-KB page size. Write a C program that is passed a virtual address (in decimal) on the command line and have it output the page number and offset for the given address. As an example, your program would run as follows: ./addresses 19986 Your program would output: The address 19986 contains: page number = 4 offset = 3602 Writing this program will require using the appropriate data type to store 32 bits. We encourage you to use unsigned data types as well. Programming Projects Contiguous Memory Allocation In Section 9.2, we presented different algorithms for contiguous memory allo- cation. This project will involve managing a contiguous region of memory of size MAX where addresses may range from 0 ... MAX - 1. Your program must respond to four different requests: 1. Request for a contiguous block of memory 2. Release of a contiguous block of memory 3. Compact unused holes of memory into one single block 4.…
