  2. What does a sticky bit do and why?

  3. /* Question is how many processes are created when this program is run */int main () { forkthem (5); } void forkthem (int n) { if (n>0) { fork (); forkthem (n − 1); } else return; }

/* Subjective Questions: 3. Each with ⅔ sub parts. */

Time duration: 20 + 5minutes extra.

  1. Fill in the blanks: Part A/* The following program aims to check whether “a” is a power of 2. Int power2 (int a) { int b; b = _____; if ( (ab) >>1 = = b) return 1; else return 0; } Part B/* Following is used to find if a 32-bit number is divisible by 3 */int div3 (int n) { int i; int sum = 0; for (i = 0; i<32; i + + ) { if (i & 1) sum + = n&i; else sum- = n&i; n>> = 1; } if (sum = = 0) return sum; if (sum <0) sum = -sum;/* changed. */if (sum <3) return sum; return ______; }

  2. Following is used for mutual exclusion: Part A while (1) { while (________); if (! test_and_set (lock) ) break; } Part B A program is given, and to say what it prints: Char * p = “char * p = %c%s%c; main () { printf (p, 34, p, 34); }” main () { printf (p, 34, p, 34); } Part C main () { printf ( “%d” f (8) ); } int f (int i) { return ( (--i>1)? f (i) -f (i − 1): 0); }

  3. Find whether the following programs have any compilation errors?

Part A

#define SRP1 struct record *

typedef struct record * SRP2.

SRP1 p1, p2.

SRP2 p3, p4.

swap () { SRP2 temp1, temp2; temp1 = p1; p1 = p3; p3 = temp1; temp2 = p2; p2 = p4; p4 = temp2; }

Part B

#define EIGHT 08

main () { int nine; char * string = “abcdefgh” nine = EIGHT; printf ( “%d” string[nine]); }
