Description
There is an urgent need to declare data (variables, arrays, etc.) in test templates and to use them to describe test scenarios.
What do we need?- A construct(s) to declare data of different types (sizes):
byte,hword,word, anddword(e.g., see MIPS directives.word,.asciiz, etc.). - A memory model that maps symbols to addresses (address of the i th item is calculated as follows:
addr(item[i]) = addr(item[i-1]) + size(item[i-1]) + allignment; the first address is assumed to be0). - A mechanism to load addresses to registers (like
la(load address) MIPS pseudo-instruction).
