CSCI 463 - Assignment 3 Sample Test Data

When grading assignment 3, commands and files like the following will be used.

Make sure your code output is perfect or else you could lose points!!

• Same as seen in the handout:
  timeout 1 ./memsim -m 2e hello.in 2>&1 | head -n 1000 > hello.run
diff hello.out hello.run
• Exactly 16 bytes of input data:
  timeout 1 ./memsim -m0x30 test2.in 2>&1 | head -n 1000 > test2.run
diff test2.out test2.run
• Reading a file that is too big for the requested memory size:
  timeout 1 ./memsim -m 30 test3.in 2>&1 | head -n 1000 > test3-30.run
diff test3-30.out test3-30.run
• Reading a file that has EXACTLY the size of the requested memory size:
  timeout 1 ./memsim -m 200 test3.in 2>&1 | head -n 5000 > test3-200.run
diff test3-200.out test3-200.run
• Reading a file that will fit into a large enough memory size for the main() test code to run without warnings:
  timeout 1 ./memsim -m1010 test3.in 2>&1 | head -n 5000 > test3-1010.run
diff test3-1010.out test3-1010.run
• All 256 possible byte values:
  timeout 1 ./memsim testsx.in 2>&1 | head -n 5000 > testsx.run
diff testsx.out testsx.run

Here are the test files corresponding to the above commands:

• hello.in, hello.out
• test2.in, test2.out
• test3.in, test3-1010.out, test3-200.out, test3-30.out
• testsx.in, testsx.out

You will want to right-click on these files and then 'save file as...'

It should be obvious that if you can't see the difference between your output and the reference output file then 1) you are wrong and 2) you need to use hexdump -C on your output file and look to see if there is junk bytes in your output that don't print on your screen.
