HW 11: The Runtime Stack

The exercises below draw on the material in Chapter 12 of Webber and our discussion in class on Thursday.
  1. Exercise 12.2. You can assume that the nesting links have already been correctly set up; the question is just how they will be used. Be sure to explain why you do not have to consider the case where m>n.

  2. Exercise 12.3. The question is not just where the new activation record's nesting link should point, but how the calling routing can set it up at runtime. Again, be sure to explain why you do not have to consider the case where m>n+1.
