tailieunhanh - Lecture Computer organization and assembly language: Chapter 16 - Dr. Safdar Hussain Bouk

In this chapter, we discuss various mechanisms to ensure the orderly execution of cooperating processes that share a logical address space, so that data consistency is maintained. | CSC 221 Computer Organization and Assembly Language Lecture 16: Procedures Lecture 15: Review Elements are only added/removed to/from the top.

A procedure is the Assembly equivalent of a Java or C++ function. Following is an assembly language procedure named sample: sample PROC . . . ret sample ENDP Documenting Procedures Suggested documentation for each procedure: A description of all tasks accomplished by the procedure. Receives: A list of input parameters; state their usage and requirements. Returns: A description of values returned by the procedure. Requires: Optional list of requirements called preconditions that must be satisfied before the procedure is called. Example: SumOf Procedure ;--------------------------------------------------------- SumOf PROC ; ; Calculates and returns the sum of three 32-bit integers. ; Receives: EAX, EBX, ECX, the three integers. May be ; signed or unsigned. ; Returns: EAX = sum, and the status flags (Carry, ; Overflow, etc.) are changed. ; Requires: nothing ;--------------------------------------------------------- add eax,ebx add eax,ecx ret SumOf ENDP CALL and RET Instructions The CALL | CSC 221 Computer Organization and Assembly Language Lecture 16: Procedures Lecture 15: Review Elements are only added/removed to/from the top.
