Questions

  1. [2] There are three functions defined in 3000menu.c. Which lines in 3000menu.s implement each of those functions? How do you know those are the correct lines?
  2. [1] Why is environ referenced but not defined in 3000menu.s?
  3. [2] What lines in 3000menu.s define the menu array of character arrays? What lines define the constant string arrays it points to?
  4. [2] Which lines of 3000menu.s correspond to lines 72-76 of 3000menu.c, inside of main()? What do each of these lines do?
  5. [2] If we replace line 27 of 3000menu.c with "pid = 0;" how does the behavior of the program change? Why?
  6. [2] In line 30 of 3000menu.c, we replace one of the string pointers in menu with NULL.
    1. [1] What is the purpose of this line?
    2. [1] This doesn't change the menu that is displayed to the user. Why not?
  7. [2] How does the 3000menu.c's behavior change if you delete line 34, the call to wait? Why?
  8. [4] Replace line 29 in 3000menu.s (the assembly code version) with the following two lines:
        mov $57,%eax
        syscall
    Create a new binary with the command gcc -O -z lazy 3000menu.s -o 3000menu-q2. It should run the same as before.
    1. [1] How does the library call behavior of 3000menu-q2 differ from 3000menu? Why?
    2. [1] How does the system call behavior of 3000menu-q2 differ from 3000menu? Why?
    3. [2] Could you modify 3000menu.c so that it compiled to essentially identical assembly as 3000menu-q2? Why or why not? (You only need to consider standard C functionality.)
