Week 4: Lecture - Strings and Systems Routines, Building Code

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!

During this week we talked about working with strings and displaying different messages with assembly language using 6502 processor. We experimented a little bit with displaying different messages to the screen on our 6502 emulator.

We have also talked about building C and C++ code on Linux. In particular, we discussed the process that the compiler goes through, building process, different commands used for building code as well as such tools as makefile. We have also talked about different flags that can be used when compiling using command and using makefile. We have also touched base on optimization and how we can instruct compiler to optimize our code while building.

Since, I'm also taking Unix System Programming this lecture was especially valuable and interesting for me as we discussed some deeper things that are happening when we are building code.
