Test Programs FAQ

Test Programs FAQ

1.  Can I make assumptions about the prior values in registers for my test programs?

You may not make any assumptions about the values in the registers. You should explicitly clear them all as the first thing you do in your program. Using andn to clear them to 0 is fine. Or you can use the LUI instruction to set them to a constant.

2.  How can I run multiple programs on my processor one after another?

Regression testing can be found on the test programs page, section 2.
