Deck 13: High-Level Language Interface-- Assessment

Question 1

In Visual C++,the PTR directive cannot be used in inline assembly code.

Answer 1

False

Question 2

In Visual C++,an inline statement can refer to labels outside the __asm block.

Answer 2

True

Question 3

In 32-bit mode,the offsets of stack parameters should always be calculated from EBP.

Answer 3

True

Question 4

The Visual C++ compiler contains command-line options for generating assembly language source code.

Question 5

Name decoration is used by C++ because it supports the overloading of function names.

Question 6

C language programs automatically convert external identifiers to all uppercase letters.

Question 7

When a C++ functions is called,floating-point values inside the function are usually pushed on the processor's floating-point stack before returning to the function's caller.

Question 8

The EVEN and ALIGN directives can be used in Visual C++ inline assembly code.

Question 9

A language's calling convention includes a list of which registers must be preserved by called procedures.

Question 10

Optimizing C++ compilers rarely substitute registers in the place of variables when they generate assembly language source code.

Question 11

The "C" specifier in extern declarations of procedures called from C++ tells the compiler to avoid decorating (changing)the procdure name.

Question 12

A language's calling convention does not include the order in which parameters are passed.

Question 13

used by C programs.

Question 14

A program using the C calling convention pushes function arguments onto the stack from left to right.

Question 15

At the beginning of an __asm block,general-purpose registers such as EAX and EBX may have unknown values.
