• Defining Objects in Assembly: The example code from class today shows how structs (objects) map to the underlaying memory, see obj. Compare the three programs (main01, main02 and main03) and how the Students' object is defined in the corresponding assembly code. In particular see the three different ways I have allocated the character array to hold the students name: static in read-only memory, dynamic using malloc on the heap and static allocation in the read-write data section.
