I made the assembly portion of this program to demonstrate how caching works. The cache handler is written in IA32 AT&T assembly.
Student-faculty provided the C code and Make file.
The assembly procedure performs the following operations including but not limited to:
- Capturing bits within a byte
- Dereferencing fields within structs and fields within structs
- Moving parts of register data
This program was designed to be run on specific 32-bit architecture. As such, dependencies & the nature of the program may result in failing to create a proper executable. With that said, there are 2 ways to create a program executable.
Make: make (the executable will be xtest).
Manual: gcc -m32 cache.c prog3.s -o <executable name.
