33 1. A template for MIPS assembly programs main : NOP NOP LABEL1: NOP NOP first instruction of main a branch target j $ra last instruction of main Instructions for additional procedures go here. A descriptive prologue is a good idea. For example: PROCEDURE: Sum PARAMETERS: int * numbers (a0) Address of an array of integers int count (a1) Length of the array page33

35 2. Assembler directives Assembler directives do not generate instructions, but instead provide additional information to the assembler on how to arrange code and data in memory, how to interpret macros, and so on. Directives such as.text and.data are present in even the simplest programs. Other more interesting directives are described below: 2.1 Data allocation and initialization Most of the directives are to instruct the program on how to allocate space for and initialize static variables. These always appear in the data segment after the.data directive but before the.text directive. You ll probably use the following frequently: Allocate space for and initialize a null-terminated ascii string:.asciiz This is an ascii string.\n Allocate and initialize an array of 5 bytes:.byte 0x00 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04 Allocate and initialize an array of 2 32-bit words:.word 0x x Allocate an unitialized area of 100 byts (25 32-bit words).space 100 Additional directives are described in pages A-51~A-53 of the text. page35

36 2. Assembler directives 2.2 Macros Suppose you found yourself frequently using the pop and push operations described in class. Rather than having to type in two instructions every time you wanted to push a register onto the stack or pop a value from the stack into a register, it would be nice if the assembler provided primitives to do it for you. The assembler doesn t, but it allows you to create your own, with macros. For example, at the beginning of the assembler program, you could add the lines.macro push ($operand) sw $operand, 0($sp) addu $sp, $sp, -4.end_macro page36

37 2. Assembler directives.macro pop ($operand) addu $sp, $sp, 4 lw $operand, 0($sp).end_macro Now in your program you can use the newly defined macro to push, for example, register $a0 onto the stack: push($a0) The assembler uses your macro definition to expand this to sw $a0, 0($sp) addu $sp, $sp, -4 In general macros are useful when you find yourself in repetitive sequences of instructions. They are not a substitute for procedures, though. (Why not?) page37

38 3. Printing to the console To test your program, you ll need some way of displaying your output in a humanreadable format. SPIM provides several system calls for printing to the console. syscall : is effectively a special procedure call with an unusual calling convention. Before using the syscall instruction, register $2 must contain the syscall number; for now we re only interested in syscall 1 (print_int) and syscall 4 (print_string). (More syscalls can be found on page A-49 of the text.) For these two syscalls, register $4 should contains the integer value or the address of the string to be printed. So in this example it takes three syscalls to print out the result string. For your convenience, we have defined macros for these two printing syscalls within the template..data str:.asciiz The sum from is newline:.asciiz \n page38

39 3. Printing to the console li $2, 4 Use syscall 4 (print_string) la $4, str to display string str syscall li $2, 1 Use syscall 1 (print_int) lw $4, 4($sp) to print the sum syscall li $2, 4 Use syscall 4 (print_string) la $4, newline to print a newline syscall page39
