I'm suppose to translate a virtual address to a physical address with the use of a fully-associative page table.


It compiles but it won't run. Can anyone help me and point out the errors :P THANK YOU!

It doesn't compile cleanly though, GCC spotted a number of things ..

Really? I tried it again, it compiles and runs. But now when I ask for to input the parameters, it just crashes.

An uninitialized global variable takes the value 0. Doing a 0/0 division will give you an Arithmetic exception. I think this should solve the crashing issue.

How did you compile the program ? I also got the same compilation errors that mitrmkar got

#
ne = (ms / ps);

You're talking about this one right?

jGrasp, -gcc compiler

Okay so I not really sure what I did, I'm able to set my parameters now. But now it crashes when I want to map it.

I think the 3 cases might be the problem, can I leave as all as 'if' or do I have to set them as 'else if' statements?

Can you please post the relevant code ? I cannot figure out what you are trying to say

/* check if mapping in pt */
	/* case 1: page hit! */
	if(pt[i].vp == vp) {
		pa = ((pf *ps) + offset);
		/* apply replacement policy: MRU */
		printf("Virtual address %d maps to physical address %d", &va, &vp);

	}
	
	/* case 2: page fault! find empty, add vp there */
	if(pt[i].vp == -1) {
		pt[i].vp = vp;
		pt[i].pf = i;
		printf("Page fault!");
	}

	/* case 3: page fault! pt is full */
	if(i == ne) {
		pf = pt[0].pf;
		for(i = 0; i <= ne -2; i++) {
			pt[i] = pt[i+1];
		}
		/* insert vp into pt */
		pt[ne -1].vp = vp;
		/* insert pf into pt */
		pt[ne -1].pf = pf;
		printf("Page fault!");
	}

Should this be an 'else if' statement?
