1 Lab 8 The Stack (LIFO) Structure Objective: The stack segment in memory is where the 80x86 maintains the stack. The stack stores important information about program including local variables, subroutine information, and temporary data. The 80x86 controls its stack via the ESP (stack pointer) registers. The 80x86 decrements the stack pointer by the size of the data you are pushing and then it copies the data to memory where ESP is then pointing. POP instruction copies the data from memory location ESP before adjusting the value in ESP. Recall the declared variable and its size. Generate random numbers (4 bytes) between 0 and 100. Generate random even or odd numbers (4 bytes) between 0 and 100. Practice push and pop instructions and observe the changes of ESP value. 1. Type and explain Example 1 (StackApp.cpp). Compile, Build, and Run the program. Example 1 illustrates: Random number generation Push to store an object into the top of the stack data structure Pop to remove an object from the top of the stack data structure Observe and record the register of ESP before and after push or pop Explain each line of Example 1 (StackApp.cpp) and describe the output of each in your lab report Based on the output screen, fill the following table (see the table example in 4) 2. Modify Example 2 (StackAppTemp.cpp) to do: Random even numbers generation (for example generate 10 even numbers) Push each even number onto the top of the stack data structure Pop to remove an object from the top of the stack data structure Observe and record the register of ESP before and after push or pop Based on the output screen, fill the following table (see the table example in 4) 3. Modify Example 2 (StackAppTemp.cpp) to do: Random odd numbers generation (for example generate 10 odd numbers) Push each odd number onto the top of the stack data structure Pop to remove an object from the top of the stack data structure Observe and record the register of ESP before and after push or pop Based on the output screen, fill the following table (see the table example in 4) 4. Based on the output screen, fill the following table, for example Instruction Stack pointer ESP after push or pop Integer pushed or popped PUSH 3bfb bfb0c 73 3bfb bfb04 7 3bfb bfafc 91

2 POP 3bfb bfb04 98 Written exercises: 1. Explain the Programs (each block of the program). 2. Include the sample source code and the outputs in your lab report. 3. Include the modified program and outputs in your lab report 4. The list of numbers stored onto stack 5. The list of values popped off the stack 6. The relationship between stack pointer ESP with the instruction push (or pop) 7. Fill the table above. 8. Summary.
