The system/370 assembler language

1 Mark(s)

Which of the following functions is/ are performed by the loader?

1 Mark(s)

Physically place the machine instructions and data into memory
All of the above
Allocate space in memory for the programs and resolve symbolic references between object decks
Adjust all address dependent locations, such as address constants, to correspond to the allocated space

A self-relocating program is one which

1 Mark(s)

consists of a program and relevant information for its relocation
All of the above
can itself perform the relocation of its address-sensitive portions
cannot be made to execute in any area of storage other than the one designated for it at the time of its coding or translation

Multiprogramming was made possible by

1 Mark(s)

neither (a) nor (b)
both (a) and (b)
operating systems
input/output units that operate independently of the CPU

If special forms are needed for printing the output, the programmer specifies these forms through

In analyzing the compilation of PL/I program, the description "resolving symbolic address (labels) and generating machine language" is associated with

1 Mark(s)

Assembly and output
Syntax analysis
Storage assignment
Code generation

Terminal Table

1 Mark(s)

a permanent table of decision rules in the form of patterns for matching with the uniform symbol table to discover syntactic structure
consists of a full or partial list of the tokens as they appear in the program. Created by Lexical analysis and used for syntax analysis and interpretation
contains all constants in the program
a permanent table which lists all key words and special symbols of the language in symbolic form

An Interpreter is

1 Mark(s)

program that accepts a program written in a high level language and produces an object program
a program that automate the translation of assembly language into machine language
is a program that appears to execute a source program as if it were machine language
a program that places programs into memory and prepares them for execution

A non-relocatable program is one which

1 Mark(s)

can itself perform the relocation of its address-sensitive portions
cannot be made to execute in any area of storage other than the one designated for it at the time of its coding or translation
All Of the abov
consists of a program and relevant information for its relocation

Assembly code data base is associated with

1 Mark(s)

consists of a full or partial list or the tokens as they appear in the program. Created by Lexical analysis and used for syntax analysis and interpretation
assembly language version of the program which is created by the code generation phase and is input to the assembly phase
a permanent table which lists all key words and special symbols of the language in symbolic form
a permanent table of decision rules in the form of patterns for matching with the uniform symbol table to discover syntactic structure

Assembler is
