Detailed Description

This file defines the interface to a C file assembler.c that you will complete. This is the main portion of an assembler for LC3.

This is a substantial assignment. One way to attack larger projects is to break the problem into pieces and code those pieces individually. You have already done this for the files util.c and symbol.c. Instead of writing large functions (e.g. asm_pass_one(), asm_pass_two()), decompose them into a series of calls to shorter functions which do required subtasks. The decomposition may be continued until each low level function is easy to write correctly. If you find any one function getting "too" large, think about what the code does and decompose it into several smaller functions. In fact, if you can give the task a good symbolic name, you can postpone writing it until later. This is because the name implies "what" the function does. "How" it is done, will be determined when that function is coded. It is perfectly fine to have functions that are only called once from the code. The idea is that each of these functions peform a straight forward subtask. And it is perfectly fine to have functions that are only one or a few lines of code.

A good rule of thumb is that a function is too large if you can not see the entire function on a single page.

Function Documentation

void asm_error	(	const char *	msg,
			...
	)

A function to print error messages. This function takes a minimum of one parameter. It is exaclty like the printf() function. The first parameter is a formatting string. This will be one of the values defined above that starts with ERR_.The remaining parameters (if any) are the actual values to be printed (generally a token). The function prints the word ERROR: and the the value of srcLineNum along with the information provided by the parameters. It must be used for reporting all errors. After printing the error, the global variable numErrors is incremented. This function relies on the static variable srcLineNum in assembler.c. Suppose one wanted to report that a file could not be opened for reading. The C code might look line this.

FIlE* f = fopen(filename, "r");
if (f == NULL) {
  asm_error(ERR_OPEN_READ, filename);
  // any other actions
}

Ideally, this function would throw an exception.

Parameters

msg	- the formating string (one of the `ERR_xxx` macros)
...	- a list of values to be substitued into the format string.

void asm_init ( void )

Do whatever initialization is necessary for the assembler

Todo:: implement this function

line_info_t* asm_init_line_info ( line_info_t * info )

A function to initialize all the fields of the structure to default values. The fields info->lineNum and info->address are initialized from global values defined in assembler.c.

Parameters

info	- pointer to information about a source line. If the value is `NULL`, memory for the structure is dynamically allocated.

Returns: the initialized structure

line_info_t* asm_pass_one	(	const char *	asm_file_name,
		const char *	sym_file_name
	)

This function performs the processing required in the first pass. At a minimum, it must check the syntax of each instruction and create the symbol table. For this assignment, it will also create a linked list for use by the second pass. The flow of this function is:

open the source file and report any error
read the lines one at a time using fgets()
convert the line to a list of tokens
if there is a label in the line, add it to the symbol table
if there is an opcode (e.g. ADD) on the line, then
1. allocate/initialize a new line_info_t structure
2. convert the tokens to values and set the appropriate fields of the structure
3. add the structure to the tail of the linked list
4. update the current address
If there were no errors, write the symbol table file using lc3_write_sym_tab().
return the linked list

Parameters

asm_file_name	- name of the file to assemble
sym_file_name	- name of the symbol table file

Returns: - a linked list of information about each source line

Todo:: implement this function

void asm_pass_two	(	const char *	obj_file_name,
		line_info_t *	list
	)

This function generates the object file. It is only called if no errors were found during asm_pass_one(). The basic structure of this code is to loop over the data structure created in asm_pass_one(), generate object code (16 bit LC3 instructions) and write it to the object file using lc3_write_LC3_eord(). The function must also calculate PC offsets and verify that they are within range.

Parameters

obj_file_name	- name of the object file for this source code
list	- the linked list produced by `asm_pass_one()`

Todo:: implement this function

void asm_print_line_info ( line_info_t * info )

A function to print the infomation extracted from a source line. This is used for debugging only.

Parameters

info	- pointer to informaton about a source line

void asm_term ( line_info_t * list )

Cleanup everything used by the assembler

Parameters

list	- the list produced by `asm_pass_one()`

Todo:: implement this function
