Assembly language for the MIPS requires that the assembly program specify information about a routine for the loader and debugger. This "prolog" information must come after various instructions that comprise the routine entry.

Constructor Summary

PrologMarker(int mask, int fmask, int frameSize, int frameOffset)
Create a marker for generating the routine prolog information.

Method Summary

void	assembler(Assembler asm, Emit emit) Insert the assembler directive for the prolog.

Constructor Detail

PrologMarker

public PrologMarker(int mask,
                    int fmask,
                    int frameSize,
                    int frameOffset)

Create a marker for generating the routine prolog information.

While executing the routine:

• virtual_frame_pointer = stack_pointer + frameSize
• saved register address = virtual_frame_pointer - frameOffset

The stack_pointer is kept in the SP register.

Parameters:

mask - specifies which integer registers are saved by this routine

fmask - specifies which floating point registers are saved by this routine

frameSize - specifies the size in bytes of the stack frame for this routine and must be a multiple of 16

frameOffset - specifies the offset from the virtual frame pointer to the saved registers

Method Detail

assembler

public void assembler(Assembler asm,
                      Emit emit)

Insert the assembler directive for the prolog.

Overrides:
