Chapter 3, Problem 3.67HW
For this exercise, we will examine the code generated by GCC for functions that have structures as arguments and return values, and from this see how these language features are typically implemented.
The following C code has a function process having structures as argument and return values, and a function values, and a function eval that tails process.
Gcc generates the following code for these two functions:
A. We can see on line 2 of function eval that it allocates 104 bytes on the stack. Diagram the stack frame for oval, showing the:Nal= that it stores on the stack prior to calling process. B. What value does eval pass in its call to process?
C. How does the code for process access the elements of structure arguments?
D. How does the code for pro cess set the fields of result structure r?
E. Complete your diagram of the stack frame for eval, showing how eval accesses the elements of structure r following the return from process.
F. What general principles can you discern about how structure values are passed as function arguments and how they are returned as function results?

IN C PROGRAMMING LANGAUGE AND COMMENT EVERY LINE PLEASE SO THAT I COULD UNDERSTAND
Write a program that processes a data file of names in which each name is on a separate line of at most 80 characters. Here are two sample names:
Hartman-Montgomery, Jane R.
Doe, J. D.
On each line the surname is followed by a comma and a space. Next comes the first name or initial, then a space and the middle initial. Your program should scan the names into three arrays—surname, first, and middle_init. If the surname is longer than 15 characters, store only the first 15. Similarly, limit the first name to ten characters. Do not store periods in the first and middle_init arrays. Write the array’s contents to a file, aligning the contents of each column:
Hartman-Montgom Jane R
Doe J D
The Problem: You need to create a pointer to a function which takes ainteger argument and returns an array of pointers to functions which take oneargument, a string, and return an integer.Whew! That's a specification you have to read at least three times tofigure out that you can't understand it.How do you deal with such complexity.
Write code in C++ for a function which can remove all characters from cin's buffer until a particular stop character -- which is specified by the caller -- is found. (Thought-provoker: Should the stop character be removed as well?) (Thought-provoker II: Is there a reasonable default value that the stop character might have?)

- How do I create a function in C++ that takes in a file name on input and generates a one dimensional integer vector with 10 elements, and gives back the frequency of each element such as x(0) stores how many times 0 occurs in the file.arrow_forwardWrite a C function that is given a pointer to memory, the number of bytes of memory the pointer points at, and two pointers to uint32_t. Your job is to treat the pointer as if it were a pointer to an array of uint32_t, find the min and max values of the array, and write the results to the locations pointed at by the uint32_t pointers. The number of bytes will be a positive multiple of 4. Do not worry about endianess in this problem. Note the tester has command line options -Wall -Wextra -Werror -fsanitize=address to help you catch errors.arrow_forwardWrite a code Using Pointers that can print a table of values for coordinatepoints (x,y) for a given expressiona. Your code should be able to calculate the function values of typey=mx+cb. Ask the user to give input of m and c. Use pointersc. Ask the user to input how many data points of the function he wants togenerate. Use pointersd. Then dynamically allocate memory for those data pointse. Take input for the x coordinates and store them in the allocateddynamic memory using pointers.f. Calculate the corresponding y values and store them in anotherdynamically allocated memory array.g. Print the data points (x and y) in a tabular form. Use pointers.arrow_forward
- Define a C function that takes two char arrays ca1, ca2, and the size of the arrays s1, s2 as the parameters. The program should compare both the arrays and return 1 if both the arrays are equal. Otherwise, return 0. Two char arrays will be equal if all the elements of both arrays are the same.arrow_forwardFor this assignment, you need only write a single-file C program. Your program will:Define a C structure ( sample struct )suitable to hold the defining characteristics of a:Sample (int list_len, float * value_list) - call this format a Sample data record.Write a separate function to :Read a file of delimited Sample data records into an array of pointers to your sample structs. Note: you may use a statically sized array of size 1024, however, each element of the array must be a pointer to a sample struct (as defined above). Initially each element of the array must be set to NULL (to indicated that it is not used), and then later to a dynamically allocated sample struct if it is to be used. Note: after dynamically allocating memory for a sample struct, you have enough memory for each/every component of the structure. However, for each component of that structure that is a pointer, you will eventually need to allocated memory for the “thing” that it points to as well (think array via…arrow_forwardWrite a C language function named count that takes a void pointer and int parameter, representing a memory buffer, and a uint8_t parameter representing a byte, and returns an int result. The returned result should be the number of occurrences of the byte in the bufer. For example if the buffer p pointed to the bytes 01 12 01 23, then count(p, 4, 0x01) should return 2.arrow_forward
- Muscat College wants to maintain the students' record using a C++ Program. They want to add a module of searching in this program so as to search any particular students' information quickly by using Binary Search Technique. The database has Student_ID (int), Name, Grade (A/B/C), and Passing_Year(int) fields in each students' information. Write a C++ program to search a student information using Student_ID. The database is in order. If the searched product is found, then display product information otherwise display “Product not find “. 1) Creating a structure for a Students' record. 2)Accepting inputs (entering students' details) through keyboard at runtime for maximum 20 students. 3) Search (using Binary Search) a particular record based on the field studen_ID4) Show an error if the record is not found5) Show the position of the record found.arrow_forwardWrite a c++ program that determines whether or not a string of alphanumeric characters is a palindrome. Ignore any whitespace characters or punctuation when processing the string. You will be required to demonstrate pointer math and dereferencing. You will be required to separate your interface from your implementation; you must have a header file (.h) for your interface, and a source file (.cpp) for your implementation. Be sure to perform data validation on your input to prevent buffer overflows. Your code should present the user with prompts similar to the following: (image included) Here are some example palindromes you can test with: Mr. Owl ate my metal wormDo geese see God?Was it a car or a cat I saw?Murder for a jar of red rumA nut for a jar of tunaGo hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog!arrow_forwardWrite a C++ program that asks your if he wants to store student’s data such as name, id (20i-xxxx) andaddress.

(N.B: Without quotation) The first line of input will take an integer (N) which indicates the number of names in the dataset. Then the second line will take N space-separated strings.
