Chapter 3, Problem 3.61HW

In Section 3.6.6, we examined the following code as a candidate for the use of conditional data transfer:

long cread (long *xp) {

return (xp ? xp : 0);

}

We showed a trial implementation using a conditional move instruction but argued that it was not valid, since it could attempt to read from a null address.

Write a C function cread_alt that has the same behavior as cread, except that it can be compiled to use conditional data transfer. When compiled, the generated code should use a conditional move instruction rather than one of the jump instructions.

Q2: Besides the while-loop in Q1, I want to implement a 2nd while-loop running in parallel with the first while: while(1) { wt(1); XX); } However, on an MCU there is no parallelism. (For ex., on Arduino I can define only one loop() function.) Write a single while that does the job of both whiles. (a) Write it in a procedural style. (b) Write it the super-loop style (state-machine with fixed heartbeat).
Write a program that reads an unknown number of integers (int16_t) from the keyboard, terminated when the value (-10000) is given, and stores these into a dynamically sized array. The array should be initialised with a size to hold 10 values, and should increase in size by steps of 10 values whenever the array needs to be resized. (Note that the array should always have capacity to hold another value, for example, when it is holding 10 values the array size should be 20; the next step size up). Once it reads -10000, the program should print how many numbers it read in the format Numbers read = , then exit. The program must free() the array before exiting (but after printing the how many numbers have been read). You can use scanf("%hd", &number) to read a 16 bit integer. Note: because of the way we test this, you must not call realloc() if you just read in -10000; be efficient! For example: Input 1 2 3 4 5 -10000 Result _TESTALLOC: (calloc) Add block 0, total memblks 20 _TESTALLOC:…
The read() system call needs to be run in a loop to deal safely with edge cases that can appear on some system configurations. Some libraries provide a function for this (for example the C library [fread), but it is not too hard to code yourself. Consider the following snippet of code, with two parts replaced by XXX and YYY ssize_t do_read(int fd, void buffer, size_t len) { ssize_t res; do { res read(fd, buf, len); while (res XXX @ && errno YYY); return res; } Enter the values for XXX and YYY to make this code run correctly, respecting the following rules. The correct value for XXX is a single operator. Enter it without any spaces. The correct value for YYY is a clause to do a comparison with the errno value. Enter the value with no leading or trailing spaces, and exactly one space in any places inside the string where spaces are required. Enter the values here: ● XXX: • YYY:
