Question

Ben Bitdiddle argues that the examples used in section 14.8 to motivate the use of static links can be handled using statically allocated variables rather than all the new $S$-machine instructions presented in table 14.36. Ben points out that access to static variables is easy to translate, even if they are free references contained in an internal procedure. He proposes that all such troublesome variables be statically allocated (like outer-level C variables) to eliminate access problems. Show how to translate the programs of figures 14.38 and 14.40 to $S$-machine code without using the instructions of table 14.36. You may give modifications to the $S$-machine code shown in figures 14.39 and 14.41 rather than completely rewriting the programs. Explain, in a sentence or two, how your approach differs from that of the programs in figures 14.39 and 14.41 .

Step 1

He suggests that troublesome variables be statically allocated, similar to outer-level C variables, to eliminate access problems. This means that instead of using the new $S$-machine instructions presented in table 14.36, we will use statically allocated variables  Show more…
