3 More array rela5onships int A[10]; int *B; B=(A+5) à A[5] = B[0] B=&(A[0]) à B = A B=&(A[5]) à B = A+5

4 Pointers to pointers Remember: pointer points to a loca5on in memory We ve been considering cases where loca5ons in memory are arrays of integers But loca5ons in memory could be pointer themselves 0x7fff55bc Code Data Stack 0x7fff55b8 Free Heap

5 Simple pointers to pointers example

6 What s the difference between these two programs? Answer: X is on the heap on the lez, and on the stack on the right. But they are both pointers- to- pointers.

7 What s the difference between these two programs? Answer: program on lez makes one alloca5on for each pointer, program on right makes one alloca5on for whole program & each pointer points at loca5ons within that alloca5on.

8 Call by value / call by reference Refers to how parameters are passed to a func5on. Call by value: send the value of the variable as a func5on parameter Side effects in that func5on don t affect the variable in the calling func5on Call by reference: send a reference (pointer) as a func5on parameter Side effects in that func5on affect the variable in the calling func5on

9 Call by Value

10 Call by value Code Data Return copies into loca5on specified by calling func5on Stack stack_varc stack_vard <info for how to get back to main> A (= 3) <Loca5on for RV> stack_vara Free Heap

11 Call by reference

12 Call by reference * Code Data * Return copies into loca5on specified by calling func5on & Stack stack_varc stack_vard <info for how to get back to main> A (= address) <Loca5on for RV> stack_vara Free Heap

15 Useful vi commands yy: yank the current line and put it in a buffer 2yy: yank the current line and the line below it p: paste the contents of the buffer Naviga5on :100 go to line 100 in the file / : search forwards,? : search backwards Arrows can be used to navigate the cursor posi5on (while in command mode) So do h, j, k, and l We will discuss more 5ps for vi throughout the quarter. They will mostly be student- driven (Q&A 5me each class)

16 Permissions: System Calls System calls: a request from a program to the OS to do something on its behalf including accessing files and directories System calls: Typically exposed through func5ons in C library Unix u5li5es (cd, ls, touch) are programs that call these func5ons Permissions in Unix are enforced via system calls.

17 Executable files An executable file: a file that you can invoke from the command line Scripts Binary programs The concept of whether a file is executable is linked with file permissions

18 Transla5ng permissions to binary Which of these modes make sense? Which don t? We can have separate values (0-7) for user, group, and other Image from wikipedia

19 Unix command: chmod chmod: change file mode chmod 750 <filename> User gets 7 (rwx) Group gets 5 (rx) Other gets 0 (no access) Lots of op5ons to chmod (usage shown here is most common)

20 ls - l Long lis5ng of files Permissions Links (*) Owner Group File size Date of last change How to interpret this? Filename

21 Permissions and Directories You can only enter a directory if you have execute permissions to the directory Quiz: a directory has permissions 400. What can you do with this directory? Answer: it depends on what permissions a system call requires.

22 Directories with read, but no execute

23 Outline Review Project 1B Overview Build Project 1C Overview Tar Character Strings

24 Unix scripts Scripts Use an editor (vi/emacs/other) to create a file that contains a bunch of Unix commands Give the file execute permissions Run it like you would any program!!

25 Unix scripts Arguments Assume you have a script named myscript If you invoke it as myscript foo bar Then $# == 2 $1 == foo $2 == bar

26 Project 1B Summary: write a script that will create a specific directory structure, with files in the directories, and specific permissions.

29 Build: The Actors File types Source code Object code Executable code Programs Compiler Linker Source code (e.g., C code) Compiler Object code Linker Executable code

30 Analogy Source Code Object Code Executable Code

31 Compilers, Object Code, and Linkers Compilers transform source code to object code Confusing: most compilers also secretly have access to linkers and apply the linker for you. Object code: statements in machine code not executable intended to be part of a program Linker: turns object code into executable programs

32 GNU Compilers GNU compilers: open source gcc: GNU compiler for C g++: GNU compiler for C++ C++ is superset of C. With very few excep5ons, every C program should compile with a C++ compiler.

33 C++ comments // : everything following on this line is a comment and should be ignored Examples: // we set pi below float pi = ; // approxima5on of pi Can you think of a valid C syntax that will not compile in C++? float radians=degrees//*approx. of pi*/ ;

34 A comment on case (i.e., uppercase vs lowercase) Case is important in Unix But Mac is tolerant gcc t.c à invokes C compiler gcc t.c à invokes C++ compiler

35 Our first gcc program Invoke gcc compiler Name of file to compile Default name for output programs

36 Our first gcc program: named output - o sets name of output Output name is different Output has execute permissions

37 gcc flags: debug and op5miza5on gcc g : debug symbols Debug symbols place informa5on in the object files so that debuggers (gdb) can: set breakpoints provide context informa5on when there is a crash gcc O2 : op5miza5on Add op5miza5ons never fails gcc O3 : provide more op5miza5ons Add op5miza5ons some5mes fails gcc O3 g Debugging symbols slow down execu5on and some5mes compiler won t do it anyways

38 Debug Symbols live code gcc S t.c # look at t.s gcc S g t.c # look at t.s (- S flag: compile to assembly instead of object code)

39 Object Code Symbols Symbols associate names with variables and func5ons in object code. Necessary for: debugging large programs

40 Large code development Source code file1.c Compiler Object code file1.o Why could this be a good idea? Source code file2.c Compiler Object code file2.o Linker Executable code Source code file3.c Compiler Object code file3.o

41 Mul5- file development: example cat is a Unix command that prints the contents of a file $? is a shell construct that has the return value of the last executed program

42 Mul5- file development: example

43 Mul5- file development: example Linker order ma ers for some linkers (not Macs). Some linkers need the.o with main first and then extract the symbols they need as they go. Other linkers make mul5ple passes.

44 Libraries Library: collec5on of implementa5ons (func5ons!) with a well defined interface Interface comes through header files. In C, header files contain func5ons and variables. Accessed through #include <file.h>

45 Libraries Why are libraries a good thing? Answers: separa5on I.e., divide and conquer increases produc5vity I.e., simplicity I.e., prevents tendrils between modules that shouldn t exist encapsula5on (hides details of the implementa5on) A li le knowledge is a dangerous thing Products I can sell you a library and don t have to give you the source code.

46 Libraries Why are libraries a bad thing? Answers: separa5on I.e., makes connec5ons between modules harder (were the library interfaces chosen correctly?) complexity need to incorporate libraries into code compila5on

47 Includes and Libraries gcc support for libraries -I : path to headers for library when you say #include <file.h>, then it looks for file.h in the directories -I points at - L : path to library loca5on - lname : link in library libname

48 Library types Two types: sta5c and shared Sta5c: all informa5on is taken from library and put into final binary at link 5me. library is never needed again Shared: at link 5me, library is checked for needed informa5on. library is loaded when program runs More about shared and sta5c later for today, assume sta5c

49 Making a sta5c library (should have called this libmul5plier.a) Note the # is the comment character

50 What s in the file?

51 Typical library installa5ons Conven5on Header files are placed in include directory Library files are placed in lib directory Many standard libraries are installed in /usr /usr/include /usr/lib Compilers automa5cally look in /usr/include and /usr/lib (and other places)

52 Installing the library (fixing my mistake) mv : unix command for renaming a file

53 Example: compiling with a library gcc support for libraries -I : path to headers for library - L : path to library loca5on - lname : link in library libname

54 Makefiles There is a Unix command called make make takes an input file called a Makefile A Makefile allows you to specify rules if 5mestamp of A, B, or C is newer than D, then carry out this ac5on (to make a new version of D) make s func5onality is broader than just compiling things, but it is mostly used for computa5on Basic idea: all details for compila5on are captured in a configura5on file you just invoke make from a shell

55 Makefiles Reasons Makefiles are great: Difficult to type all the compila5on commands at a prompt Typical develop cycle requires frequent compila5on When sharing code, an expert developer can encapsulate the details of the compila5on, and a new developer doesn t need to know the details just make

56 Makefile syntax Makefiles are set up as a series of rules Rules have the format: target: dependencies [tab] system command

57 Makefile example: mul5plier lib

58 Fancy makefile example: mul5plier lib

59 Configura5on management tools Problem: Unix pla~orms vary Idea: Where is libx installed? Is OpenGL supported? Write problem that answers these ques5ons, then adapts build system Example: put - L/path/to/libX lx in the link line Other fixes as well

60 Two popular configura5on management tools Autoconf Unix- based Game plan: You write scripts to test availability on system Generates Makefiles based on results Cmake Unix and Windows Game plan: You write.cmake files that test for package loca5ons Generates Makefiles based on results CMake has been gaining momentum in recent years, because it is one of the best solu5ons for cross- pla~orm support.

65 Unix command: tar Anyone know what tar stands for? tar = tape archiver IBM tape library

66 Unix command: tar Problem: you have many files and you want to move them to another machine give a copy to a friend etc. Tar: take many files and make one file Originally so one file can be wri en to tape drive Serves same purpose as.zip files.

67 Unix command: tar tar cvf 330.tar file1 file2 file3 puts 3 files (file1, file2, file3) into a new file called 330.tar scp ssh ix tar xvf 330.tar ls file1 file2 file

69 ASCII Character Set There have been various extensions to ASCII now more than 128 characters Many special characters are handled outside this conven5on image source: granneman.com

70 signed vs unsigned chars signed char ( char ): valid values: to 127 size: 1 byte used to represent characters with ASCII values to - 1 are not valid unsigned char: valid values: 0 to 255 size: 1 byte used to represent data

71 character strings A character string is: an array of type char that is terminated by the NULL character Example: char str[12] = hello world ; str[11] = \0 (the compiler did this automa5cally) The C library has mul5ple func5ons for handling strings

72 Character strings example

73 Useful C library string func5ons strcpy: string copy strncpy: string copy, but just first N characters strlen: length of a string

74 Useful C library string func5ons strcpy: string copy strncpy: string copy, but just first N characters strlen: length of a string What happened here?
