Take-home Final Exam available. Due Friday, 11 May 2007 13:00. Use this topic to discuss the exam and the use of PSE. Good luck!!!
A new version of PSE with the PostScript export bug fixed has been posted. In addition to not crashing, the export PostScript command (the printer in the toolbar) will also generate PDF (assuming ghostscript can be found).

Here is the source code for the init_table routine analyzed in class. Notice that the loaded values (table_size and table) were not the target of pointers as I assumed in class, instead they are static variables with file scope. It's possible that elsewhere in the code some pointer is assigned the address of one of these, and that address might appear in the store. ]]> 2007-05-10T20:11+00:00 http://www.ece.lsu.edu/tca/papers/fields04interaction.pdf Fields' Interaction Cost paper to the references page. ]]> 2007-03-23T15:31+00:00 http://www.ece.lsu.edu/tca/2007/fe.pdf Final Exam available.
