我写了一个MIPS子程序,它实现了合并排序算法(代码在帖子的末尾)。它接收指向数组的指针及其大小。对它进行排序,不要返回任何内容。
我一直在调试它,修复了一些错误,并且由于子例程似乎运行良好,直到它到达基本情况(大小为1的数组),现在我正在使用gdb和这个C代码来调试它具体情况:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
extern void merge_sort(char*, int);
int main(int argc,char **argv){
char* vector;
vector = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char));
if(vector == NULL) printf("error");
size_t vector_size = 1;
memcpy(vector,"5",vector_size);
merge_sort(vector, vector_size);
int i;
for(i = 0; i < vector_size; i++){
printf("%c ", vector[i]);
}
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
我的问题是当我踩到子程序行时,当我到达倒数第二行(jr ra)时,它崩溃并退出代码060,并且gdb显示此消息:
Warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x400730.
GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0x400730
and thus can't determine the size of that function's stack
frame. This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack
frame, or the frames below it.
This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program
counter or stack pointer. However, if you think GDB should
simply search farther back from 0x400730 for code which looks
like the beginning of a function, you can increase the range
of the search using the `set heuristic-fence-post' command.
0x004008a0 in _start
我无法弄清楚为什么会这样。我认为这可能是存储在ra
中的地址有问题,堆栈分配错误,或者C和MIPS代码之间的链接错误,但我不知道我做错了什么。
这是merge_sort的MIPS代码:
对于基本情况,代码一直运行到行beq t1, zero, SALIDA
,然后跳转到SALIDA
,然后结束。所以我只是粘贴代码的一部分(SALIDA意味着退出西班牙语:P)。

.end merge_sort
答案 0 :(得分:3)
我认为您的问题是在子程序结束时的以下问题:
lw $fp, O_FP($fp) // restores $fp
lw ra, O_RA($fp) // restore ra, but $fp isn't pointing to our frame anymore
我认为如果你颠倒这些指示可能会更好。
