Linux-MIPS-utils

Collection of examples/exercises of MIPS assembly programming for Linux.

TODO

Programs that we would like to implement (or merge if someone makes a pull request):

Coreutils

• chown/chmod (use of syscalls)
• wc (efficient IO)
• head/tail
• xargs (use of command line arguments)
• mktemp (use of random)

Syscalls inspired by MARS

• print_float (way harder than it looks) - see print_float_wip branch

Code etiquette

• use 0b for masks and binary literals
• use addi $x, $zero, n instead of li $x, n when n < 2^16.
• use macros for syscall (see src/as/syscalls.asm)
• use unsigned operations when dealing with memory (stack)
