I am working on a problem where I am attempting to create different scenarios in different C programs such as
- Data Hazard
- Branch Evaluation
- Procedure Call
This is in an attempt at learning pipelining and the different hazards that come up.
So I am writing simple C programs and disassembling to assembly language to see if a hazard gets created. But I cannot figure out how to create these hazards. Do yall have any idea how I could do this? Here is some of the simple code I have written.
I compile using.
gcc -g -c programName.c -o programName.o
gcc programName.o -o programName
objdump -d programName.o > programName.asm
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i = 0;
int size = 5;
int num[5] = {1,2,3,4,5};
int sum=0;
int average = 0;
for(i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
sum += num[i];
}
average=sum/size;
return 0;
}
...and here is the assembly for that.
average.o: file format elf64-x86-64
