Module Outline● Addressing modes. Instruction classes.● MIPS-I ISA.● Translating and starting a program.● High level languages, Assembly languages
and object code.● Subroutine and subroutine call. Use of stack
for handling subroutine call and return.

Linking Multiple Modules
Linking Example – File 1
Linking Example – File 2
Linking Example – a.out
The a.out executable● What does the a.out file contain?
– Program “code” (machine instructions)
– Data values (values, size of arrays)
● Other information that is needed for– execution
– debugging● Debugging: The stage in program development where
mistakes (“bugs”) in the program are identified
Subroutine Calls
Subroutines in MIPS
● Subroutine Call – jal subname– Saves return address in R31 ($ra) and jumps to
subroutine entry label subname
● Subroutine Return – jr $31– Loads PC with return address in $31

Subroutines – Parameter Passing● Caller saves parameters in $a0 - $a3● Callee stores results in $v0, $v1.● How does the caller pass more than 4
parameters to the callee?● Program stack

Module Outline● Addressing modes. Instruction classes.● MIPS-I ISA.● Translating and starting a program.● High level languages, Assembly languages
and object code.● Subroutine and subroutine call. Use of stack
for handling subroutine call and return.
Backup
Assembler● Translates assembly language source
program into object code● Assembly language uses mnemonics to
represent OP codes– Mnemonics: ADD, ADDI, ADDU, ...
– Syntax rules, addressing modes for data operands
● Assembler generates the binary encoding for the OP code and other instruction fields
Symbol Table● Assembler directives
– .data, .text, .globl, ...
● Symbol table keeps track of names and their corresponding values
