# Demo of reading and writing to disk. # # Steps for trying it out: # 1. Translate this example into a disk image disk.img. # ./translate ex9.mu # 2. Build a second disk image data.img containing some text. # dd if=/dev/zero of=data.img count=20160 # echo 'abc def ghi' |dd of=data.img conv=notrunc # 3. Familiarize yourself with how the data disk looks within xxd: # xxd data.img |head # 4. Run in an emulator, either Qemu or Bochs. # qemu-system-i386 -hda disk.img -hdb data.img # bochs -f bochsrc.2disks # 5. Exit the emulator. # 6. Notice that the data disk now contains the word count of the original text. # xxd data.img |head fn main screen: (addr screen), keyboard: (addr keyboard), data-disk: (addr disk) { var text-storage: (stream byte 0x200) var text/esi: (addr stream byte) <- address text-storage load-sectors data-disk, 0/lba, 1/num-sectors, text var word-count/eax: int <- word-count text var result-storage: (stream byte 0x10) var result/edi: (addr stream byte) <- address result-storage write-int32-decimal result, word-count store-sectors data-disk, 0/lba, 1/num-sectors, result } fn word-count in: (addr stream byte) -> _/eax: int { var result/edi: int <- copy 0 { var done?/eax: boolean <- stream-empty? in compare done?, 0/false break-if-!= var g/eax: grapheme <- read-grapheme in { compare g, 0x20/space break-if-!= result <- increment } { compare g, 0xa/newline break-if-!= result <- increment } loop } return result }
