Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the following TAC: t1 = a + b; t2 = t1 * c; result = t2; design both the register allocation and instruction selection for an x86 processor.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how data will flow between your created assembly instructions.

Question 2

Transform the high-level statement 'if (x > y) then z = x; else z = y;' into TAC and then generate assembly code, identifying potential optimizations.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how if-else structures can translate to conditional jumps in assembly.
