Question

This homework tests your ability to evaluate potential pipeline hazards.   The following program is used as a model. It computes vehicle sales by large (>50000) and small makes.

// WarRawWawRarSample.cpp : Sample program for Homework 5

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

#define makes 29

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

// Vehicle sales from

// http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3022-autosales.html#autosalesD

       char makers[makes][12] = {

             "GM", "Ford", "Chrysler", "Toyota",

             "Honda", "Nissan", "Hyundai", "Mazda",

             "Mitsubishi", "Kia", "Subaru", "Mercedes",

             "Volvo", "Volkswagen", "Audi", "BMW",

             "Porsche", "Fiat", "Tesla", "Jaguar",

             "Land Rover", "Alfa Romeo", "Mini", "Smart",

             "Ferrari", "Maserati", "Bentley", "Lamborghini",

             "Rolls Royce"};

       int sales[makes] = {

             259557, 229739, 196526, 211125,

             148829, 123861, 62213, 26195,

             9674, 56508, 50380, 31825,

             6168, 27112, 17801, 24951,

             5410, 3045, 2900, 1087,

             5188, 60, 4796, 466,

             217, 1066, 110, 89,

             79};

       int i, j, large = 0, small = 0, largetot = 0, smalltot = 0;

       const int lim = 50000;

       for (i = 0; i < makes; i++) {

             if (sales[i] > lim) {

                    large++;

                    largetot += sales[i];

             }

             else {

                    small++;

                    smalltot += sales[i];

             }

       }

       std::cout << "Large:" << large << " vehicles:" << largetot << " Small:" << small << " vehicles:" << smalltot << ' ';

       return 0;

}

On the following page, you will find the assembly code generated by the for loop above. List the type of hazard (WAR, WAW, RAW, RAR, Control, or none) and the data item causing the hazard in the spaces provided. These lines will be identified by an arrow (          ). Ignore lines marked N/A. The associated C++ code is interspersed.   Note that the dword ptr [i] syntax refers to i as a variable, not as a subscript.

Explanation / Answer

RAR (read after read) is not a real hazard
