Concept explainers
This problem will give you a chance to reverb engineer a switch statement from disassembled machine code. In the following procedure the body of the switch statement has been omitted:
Figure 3.53 shows the disassembled machine cods for the procedure.
The jump table resides in a different area of memory. We can see from the indirect jump on line 5 that the jump table begins at address 0×4006f8. Using the GDB debugger, we can examine the six 8-byte words of memory comprising the jump table with the command x/6gx 0×4006f8. QDB prints the following:
Fill in the body of the switch statement with C code that will have the same behavior as the machine code.
