The S registers used by the subroutine must be saved on the stack.
The subroutine now looks like:
## maxExp -- compute the maximum of three expressions ## ## Input: ## $a0 -- a signed integer, x ## $a1 -- a signed integer, y ## ## Returns: ## $v0 -- the maximum of x*x, x*y, or 5*y ## ## Registers: ## $s0 -- x*x ## $s1 -- x*y ## $s2 -- 5*y .text .globl maxExp maxExp: # prolog sub $sp,$sp,4 # push the return address sw $ra,($sp) sub $sp,$sp,4 # push $s0 sw $s0,($sp) sub $sp,$sp,4 # push $s1 sw $s1,($sp) sub $sp,$sp,4 # push $s2 sw $s2,($sp) # body # subroutine maxInt call # subroutine maxInt return # subroutine maxInt call # subroutine maxInt return # epilog
Do you now know what the epilog looks like?
