What does this code do?
An array of array[x][y]array[x][y]
form is accessed here. Try to determine the dimensions of the array, at least partially, by finding y.
_array$ = 8
_x$ = 12
_y$ = 16
_f PROC
mov eax, DWORD PTR _x$[esp-4]
mov edx, DWORD PTR _y$[esp-4]
mov ecx, eax
shl ecx, 4
sub ecx, eax
lea eax, DWORD PTR [edx+ecx*8]
mov ecx, DWORD PTR _array$[esp-4]
fld QWORD PTR [ecx+eax*8]
ret 0
_f ENDP
At first I think there is a mistake in the question. Because I only see three variables here, one for array address, the one x and one y, so I assume it's actually a 2d array of double, not a 3d as in "An array of array[x][y]""An array of array[x][y]
".
Then I was stuck because eventually the program loads array[8y+192x]
, and x and y can be anything.
So I figured this must be a 3d array of double, with the third dimension given. I still couldn't figure it out so I tried to write my own program and use Godbolt to give me assembly. After a few trials I got something pretty close to the original program:
However I'm still having difficulty to match my program with the original question. I think I'm pretty close but how do I proceed from here? I have a hunch that y is also 24 in the original question, but not 100% sure.
