IJVM emulator assignment skeleton (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)

See http://vu-programming.gitlab.io/pad/website/ for the course content and more info.

Compiling

Requires make and GCC or Clang

Run make ijvm to build the ijvm binary

You can enable the debug print (dprintf) found in include/util.h by setting the -DDEBUG compiler flag (e.g., make clean && make testbasic CFLAGS=-DDEBUG).

Running a binary

Run an IJVM program using ./ijvm binary. For example ./ijvm files/advanced/Tanenbaum.ijvm.

Adding header files

Add your header files to the folder include.

Testing

To run a specific test run make run_testX (e.g. make run_test1).

• To run all basic tests, do make testbasic.
• To run all advanced tests, do make testadvanced.
• Check for memory leaks using make testleaks
• Check for memory errors/ undeifned behavior make testsanitizers (requires LLVM)
• To compile with pedantic flags: make pedantic

You can debug the tests by running running the binaries generated by make build_tests through GDB.

Handing in

Generate a gzipped tarball of your project using the make dist command. Make sure to double check that all your required files are included in the tarball.

Compatibility

You need a valid C11 compiler, such as clang or gcc, as well as glibc. Do not use any non-standard libraries.

This skeleton works on Linux and MacOS. Windows users can install a Linux VM, or follow the instructions below.

Windows

To develop on Windows, we recommend using the Windows Subsystem for Linux, and installing Ubuntu from the Microsoft Store. Once you have gone through the setup steps, you can access the Linux command line by executing bash from the Windows command line. You can access your files in the Windows file system through mount points (e.g. cd /mnt/c/Users/<username>/Desktop).

Both glibc, gcc, and make are included in the package build-essential. It is also advised to install GDB which is used to debug C and C++ programs. To install these packages, execute the following commands:

• sudo apt update
• sudo apt install build-essential gdb

Now you can compile the project by navigating to this directory and executing the make command.

Tools

You can install the goJASM assembler by executing make tools. This will download a goJASM executable in the tools directory.
