The place where this function is called, you can also use 'loadvirt' function to read data before store. Just make sure you use same virtual address and size as in store function otherwise you might end up calling page fault handler which will corrupt simulation state. - Avadh > Cheers, > Saman Khoshbakht > ------------------------ > PhD Student, > Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering > University of Victoria, > Victoria, BC, Canada > > > _______________________________________________ > http://www.marss86.org > Marss86-Devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.cs.binghamton.edu/mailman/listinfo/marss86-devel > >
