Count leading zeroes is an operation on a list of bits that counts how many zero-bits are present before the first one-bit, starting from the most-significant bit.
For example, in the case of an 8-bit number,
• count_leading_zeroes(0b10000000) == 0
• count_leading_zeroes(0b01111111) == 1
• count_leading_zeroes(0b00101010) == 2
• count_leading_zeroes(0b00001110) == 4
• count_leading_zeroes(0b00000001) == 7
• count_leading_zeroes(0b00000000) == 8
You must implement this operation for 32-bit values. You have been given 21t2final_q0.c:
// COMP1521 21T2 … final exam, question 0
#include #include #include
int
count_leading_zeroes (uint32_t x) {
// TODO
return 42; }
Add code to the function count_leading_zeroes so that it counts and returns the amount of leading zeroes of a 32-bit unsigned integer x.
For example:

33554432 == 0x02000000
./final_q0 33554432

Add code to the following functions:
• and (bitwise AND)
• or (bitwise OR)
• xor (bitwise XOR)
• not (bitwise NOT / bitwise negation)
such that they perform their respective bitwise operations on given arrays of 8 (i.e., BITS) booleans. A boolean with the value true represents a 1 bit, and a boolean with the
value false represents a 0 bit.
You must store the result of your bitwise operation in the provided result array in each function.
You must not modify the provided x and y boolean arrays. You may only modify the result array.
final_q1_main.c provides some code to let you test each of these functions. For example:
./final_q1 -and 10110101 01101001

10110101 & 01101001 ======== 00100001
./final_q1 -or 10110101 01101001

Often, when we transmit data, we will also transmit its parity, which can allow a receiver to verify they have read the correct data. A number is defined to have even parity, if the amount of 1 bits in the number is even. Conversely, a number is defined to have odd parity, if the amount of 1 bits in the number is odd. For example, checking the parity of some 8-bit numbers: • 0b00000000: zero 1 bits are set ⇒ even parity • 0b00000001: one 1 bit is set ⇒ odd parity • 0b00000010: one 1 bit is set ⇒ odd parity • 0b00000011: two 1 bits are set ⇒ even parity You have been given 21t2final_q2.c, which contains code that implements a parity checker: // COMP1521 21T2 ... final exam, question 2 #include
#include
int
main (void)
{
uint32_t n;
scanf (“%d”, &n); int bit_idx = 0;
int n_bits_set = 0;
while (bit_idx != 32) {
int bit = (n >> bit_idx) & 1;
n_bits_set = n_bits_set + bit;
bit_idx++; }
if (n_bits_set % 2 != 0) {
printf (“the parity is odd\n”);

} else {
printf (“the parity is even\n”);
}
return 0; }
You have also been given 21t2final_q2.s, a stub MIPS program that reads an integer and prints “the parity is even\n”:
# COMP1521 21T2 … final exam, question 2
.data
even_parity_str: odd_parity_str:

li syscall
move $t0, $v0 # input is in $t0
# TODO
li $v0, 4
la $a0, even_parity_str syscall
li $v0, 0 jr $ra
Add code to 21t2final_q2.s such that it prints out whether a 32-bit number, read from standard input, has odd or even parity.

If the parity is even, you should print “the parity is even\n”.
If the parity is odd, you should print “the parity is odd\n”.
For example:
1521 spim -file 21t2final_q2.s
3
the parity is even
1521 spim -file 21t2final_q2.s 4
the parity is odd
1521 spim -file 21t2final_q2.s 5
the parity is even
1521 spim -file 21t2final_q2.s 6
the parity is even

// COMP1521 21T2 … final exam, question 3
#include #include #include
void
cp (char *path_from, char *path_to) {
// TODO
}
Add code to the function cp so that it copies the content from the file located at path_from into a file located at path_to.
If there is not an existing file located at path_to, a new file should be created. If there is an existing file located at path_to, it should be overwritten.
It should copy all bytes from the file. i.e. once cp has been executed, the files located at path_from and at path_to should be identical.
For example:
cat a
hello
cat b
goodbye
cat c
cat: c: No such file or directory
./final_q3 a b cat a
hello
cat b
hello

./final_q3 a c
cat c
hello

Question 4 (10 MARKS)
Multiplication is often an expensive operation — it can take a substantial amount of time and energy to do, and not just in hardware — so we often prefer to reduce multiplication into bitwise operations, or into simple additions or subtractions, which are often far cheaper.
For example, let’s say we wish to multiply some value bb by 7 without using *. Because 7 is 8 – 1, we can restate multiplying by seven as multiplying by eight, then subtracting the
original multiplicand once: b×7=b×8−b=b×23−bb×7=b×8−b=b×23−b. We now have multiplication by a power of two, which we can convert to a bitwise-left-shift; and
subtraction is a permitted operation. In C, we would express this as (b << 3) - b. You have been given 21t2final_q4.c: // COMP1521 21T2 ... final exam, question 4 #include
long
mul (long a, long b_) {
unsigned long b = b_;
// NOTE: Maximum 5 operations allowed // for each multiplication
// NOTE: Permitted operations:
// [x + y, x – y, -x, x << y] if (a == 7) { // Two operations: // 1 2 return (b << 3) - b; } if (a == 17) { return 42; // TODO } if (a == -3) { return 42; // TODO } if (a == 60) { return 42; // TODO } if (a == -112) { return 42; // TODO } // Invalid inputs will simply abort. abort(); } Add code to the function mul so it performs a×ba×b when aa is one of 17, -3, 60, or -112. As is worked above, the case where aa is 7 has already been provided for you. You may not use multiplication, *. You may only use the operations + (two-operand addition), - (one-operand negation), - (two- operand subtraction), and << (two-operand bitwise-left-shift). Additionally, you may only use five of these operations to do each multiplication. Autotest will not warn you about this, but it will be checked in marking. You may not use floating-point operations to approximate an answer. When you think your program is working, you can run some simple automated tests: 1521 autotest 21t2final_q4 When you are finished working on this activity, you must submit your work by running give: give cs1521 21t2final_q4 21t2final_q4.c To verify your submissions for this activity: 1521 classrun -check 21t2final_q4 Sample solution for 21t2final_q4.c // COMP1521 21T2 ... final exam, question 4 ... example solution #include

if (a == 17) {
return (b << 4) + b; } if (a == -3) { return -(b << 2) + b; } if (a == 60) { return (b << 6) - (b << 2); } if (a == -112) { return -(b << 7) + (b << 4); } // Invalid inputs will simply abort. abort(); } Question 5 (10 MARKS) You have been given 21t2final_q5.c: // COMP1521 21T2 ... final exam, question 5 #include #include #include
void
print_utf8_count (FILE *file) {
unsigned long amount_1_byte = 0; unsigned long amount_2_byte = 0; unsigned long amount_3_byte = 0; unsigned long amount_4_byte = 0;
// TODO

}
Add code to the function print_utf8_count such that it prints out what number of UTF-8 characters in file are of which size in bytes.
For example:
cat utf8_file.txt
you are doing great
det går strålande

./final_q5 utf8_file.txt
1-byte UTF-8 characters: 38

2-byte UTF-8 characters: 2
3-byte UTF-8 characters: 5
4-byte UTF-8 characters: 6

}
Add code to the function convert_hexdump_to_bytes such that, given a hexdump of a file on hexdump_input, it writes the data the hexdump represents into the given byte_output file.
You should make careful use of the address column to ensure correct ordering of the data!
• fscanf: fscanf(hexdump_input, “%x”, …)
• fseek … but you should not try to fseek on hexdump_input: as it is piped input, you
will never be able to seek backwards. Instead, consider how seeking byte_output may
help you.
• Try implementing only ordered input first, as in the first example above. (This is a
partial solution, and could be awarded partial marks.)
• You can assume that hexdump_input points to an already-open, valid file that you can read from.
• You can assume that byte_output points to an already-open, valid, truncated file that you can write to.
• You can assume that hexdump will always contain the address 0x00000000, which
will refer to the first 16 bytes of the file.
• Although the ordering of lines may be out-of-order, each individual lines’ contents
will be entirely in-order.
• You can assume that there will be no missing lines; i.e., there will be no gaps in the
hexdump.
• There will be no empty lines in the hexdump input.

• A line will never be incomplete. There will always be 16 values per line.
• The human readable stripe — the end of each line, between the vertical bars, |..hello,
there!.| — should be entirely ignored.

}
Add code to the function cp_directory so that it copies the directory located at dir_from into a new directory located at dir_to.
It should copy all the contents of the existing directory into the new directory, including both files and directories that are contained. In other words, cp_directory should recursively copy.
For example:

ls
a final_q7
find a
a
a/hello
a/dir
a/dir/world
cat a/hello
hello there
cat a/dir/world
world!
./final_q7 a b
ls
a b final_q7
find b
b
b/hello
b/dir
b/dir/world
cat b/hello
hello there
cat b/dir/world
world!
See opendir, readdir, closedir, mkdir. stat.
You may find recursion to be helpful in this question.

Question 8 (10 MARKS)

So far, we’ve explored MIPS assembly, which we’ve fed to SPIM to run. SPIM works in two steps: first, it takes the assembly and assembles it into real MIPS machine code; and second, it runs that machine code. Assembly statements, like
addi $s0, $zero, 1521 add $s0, $s0, $s1
map one-to-one onto actual instructions the machine can execute, though the form the machine sees them is much less legible — in hexadecimal, the above instructions
become 0x201005f1 and 0x02118020. This encoding is a key part of the instruction set
architecture, alongside the registers and instructions, but it’s a much more obscure part, usually only of interest to those writing compilers, assemblers, debuggers, simulators, and exam questions.
We’ll present instruction encodings like this:
• the first row contains the lowest and highest bit, and the number of bits, that a field needs — 31, 6, 26, means that the instruction goes from bit 31 to bit 26 inclusive, and is 6 bits wide;
• the second row contains the names of the fields; if it’s in UPPERCASE or just a
number, it’s a constant value; if it’s in italics, it’s some sort of value to extract, like a
register or immediate;
• the third row displays an actual instruction’s bits; and
• the fourth row displays the bits, grouped in hexadecimal.
For the add instruction above, the encoding looks like:
31 6 26 25 5 21 20 5 16 15 5 11 10 5 6 5 6 0
SPECIAL rs rt rd 00000 ADD
00000010000100011000000000100000 02118020
And for addi, the encoding looks a little different, to support the immediate value:
31 6 26 25 5 21 20 5 16 15 16 0
ADDI rs rt immediate
00100000000100000000010111110001

For this question, you need to transform the sequence of bytes that the machine would understand back into a human-comprehensible form.
You have been given 21t2final_q8.c:
// COMP1521 21T2 … final exam, question 8
#include #include #include #include #include
#include “21t2final_q8.h”
#include “21t2final_q8_opcodes.h”
Instruction
decode_instruction (Word insn_word) {
Instruction i = { .op = “[unknown]” };
/// TODO: complete this function.
return i; }
You need to complete a function decode_instruction that takes an instruction encoded in Word, an unsigned 32-bit integer value, and fills out the Instruction structure (defined
in 21t2final_q8.h), which is made up of:
• char op[INSN_LENGTH]: a field that will contain a string corresponding to the operation being performed — in the above example, add;
• bool uses_rs :1, uses_rt :1, uses_rd :1, uses_base :1, uses_imm :1: a series of Boolean bitfields (either true or false, and exactly only one bit wide) indicating whether

the rs, rt, rd, base or imm fields, respectively, are used by this instruction — in the
above example, add uses rd, rs, and rt;
• Register rs, rt, rd, base: the particular register used — in the
above, add’s rd and rs are $s0, and rt is $s1; and
• Word imm: an immediate value used — add takes no immediate value, though, for
example, addi does.
In 21t2final_q8.h are the definitions of Word, the Instruction structure,
the Register enumeration, and forward-declarations of functions. Do not change this file.
In 21t2final_q8_opcodes.h is a (huge) table of #define’d bit-constants that represent the various
opcodes known to MIPS — even though you won’t need all of them. Do not change this file. In 21t2final_q8_main.c are
• register_names, an array of register names indexed by Register;
• main, which takes a sequence of hexadecimal values as command-line arguments,
and, for each command line argument, reads it from a string into a Word,
calls decode_instruction on that value, and calls show_instruction on the result;
• show_instruction, a function that attempts to print out an Instruction in a human-
readable way.
While MIPS has a few hundred instructions, for this exercise you only need to implement eight, which use the two layouts described above —
operation
bits 31 to 26
bits 5 to 0
like add:
0b100000 (OP_SPECIAL_ADD)
0b100001 (OP_SPECIAL_ADDU) 0b100010 (OP_SPECIAL_SUB) 0b100011 (OP_SPECIAL_SUBU)
like addi:
(bits 25..21 are base) (bits 25..21 are base)
add 0b000000 (OP_SPECIAL) addu 0b000000 (OP_SPECIAL) sub 0b000000 (OP_SPECIAL) subu 0b000000 (OP_SPECIAL)
addi 0b001000 (OP_ADDI) addiu 0b001001 (OP_ADDIU)
lb 0b100000 (OP_LB) lw 0b100011 (OP_LW)

When your program is complete, it should behave like the following:
./21t2final_q8 0x201005f1 0x02118020
addi $s0 $zero 1521 add $s0 $s0 $s1

Question 9 (10 MARKS)
Base-64 encoding is a common way of turning a sequence of bytes that may not be printable into a sequence of definitely-printable bytes. It is commonly used in places where transmitting printable characters is required, but where the data to be transmitted is not. For example, non-text email attachments are traditionally encoded to Base64.
For example:

echo -n Base64 | 1521 spim -file 21t2final_q9.s
QmFzZTY0
You should assume that all input bytes are possible. Base-64 is intended to allow encoding arbitrary bytes.
However, note that neither qtspim nor xspim have a conventional standard-input stream, and therefore it is not possible to correctly detect the end of input. The provided getchar attempts
to approximate it, but only spim can receive an end-of-input, and cannot correctly indicate
when it was reached, making it impossible to distinguish between reading the NUL byte and the end of input. You do not need to fix this. You should be able to base64-encode a NUL byte, even if one would not (in the provided code) be able to read this input.
When you think your program is working, you can run some simple automated tests:
