Whats the difference between .asciiz vs .ascii
I read that .asciiz null terminates the string (appending \n
?) ... but when lookin开发者_开发知识库g at the User Data Segment of QtSPIM,
User data segment [10000000]..[10040000]
[10000000]..[1000ffff] 00000000
[10010000] 6c6c6548 6f57206f 00646c72 6c6c6548 H e l l o W o r l d . H e l l
[10010010] 6f57206f 00646c72 00000000 00000000 o W o r l d . . . . . . . . .
[10010020]..[1003ffff] 00000000
I don't see a difference?
.data
str1: .asciiz "Hello World" # string str1 = "Hello World"
str2: .ascii "Hello World" # string str2 = "Hello World"
.text
.globl main
main:
li $v0, 4 # print_string
# print(str1)
la $a0, str1 # load address of str1 into $a0
syscall
# print(str2)
la $a0, str2 # load address of str2 into $a0
syscall
j $ra
Outputs "Hello WorldHello World"
UPDATE
What are the implications or when do I use each? asciiz
sounds like the "proper" method?
As written by @osgx, ASCIIZ means that the string is terminated by the \0
(ASCII code 0) NUL character. They are even called C strings. To quote from there:
In computing, a C string is a character sequence terminated with a null character ('\0', called NUL in ASCII). It is usually stored as one-dimensional character array.[dubious – discuss] The name refers to the C programming language which uses this string representation. Alternative names are ASCIIZ (note that C strings do not imply the use of ASCII) and null-terminated string.
