My TA responded to my email, and SPIM does need to be reinitialized (with the reinitialize
command) in order for registers and memory locations to be reset.
SPIM - Are register/memory values retained until SPIM is reinitialized?
Pregunta
So I'm turning in a project for class, and both parts of the program work.
However I noticed:
If I load the program (load "p5a.mal"
), then execute it with run
, it works.
If I type run
a second time, type the same input, it shows behavior that indicates the variables declared in .text
are retaining their values from the previous run.
An example of a variable being declared can be seen here:
#Used to store the word count in the given string (initialized to 0)
wordcount: .word 0
For example, if wordcount
was 10 in the previous run, it outputs 20 in the second run.
Is this standard behavior of SPIM? Or am I not correctly zeroing out my variables?
I am aware SPIM has the "reinitialize" command, but should the second run just work anyway (without typing "reinitialize")?
