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!!!

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.
