Programmer’s Challenge

Symbolize

This month’s challenge was anonymously suggested. The goal is to make the output of a non-symbolic disassembler into a symbolic disassembly. The output file of the non-symbolic disassembler looks like this:

0006CDDE   RTS
0006CDE0   LINK     A6,#$0000
0006CDE4   MOVE.L   A4,-(A7)
0006CDE6   JSR      0006CE12
etc.

The symbol file you are given looks like this (and, yes, the real file I use for testing will have the LowMem and HiMem values in it so that you’ll be able to find a symbol for any address):

00000000 LowMem
0006CDDE Foo
0006CDE0 MyFunction
0006CE12 MyOtherFunction
FFFFFFFF HiMem

Your job is to take every 8 byte hex value in the input disassembly and look it up in the symbol file and then substitute the symbol (and offset) for the value. If you ran your routine on the above fragment then the output would be this:

[Foo          ]  RTS
[MyFunction   ]  LINK     A6,#$0000
[MyFunction+4 ]  MOVE.L   A4,-(A7)
[MyFunction+6 ]  JSR      MyOtherFunction

The prototype of the function you write is:

void
Symbolize(inputFile, symbolFile, outputFile, symLength)
FILE    *inputFile;
FILE    *symbolFile;
FILE    *outputFile;
unsigned short symLength;

InputFile is a standard C input stream containing the non-symbolic disassembly (as ASCII text). SymbolFile is a standard C input stream containing addresses (as ASCII text, not binary) and symbols (sorted by address, lowest to highest). The first symbol is for address 00000000 and the last symbol is for address FFFFFFFF, as shown in the example above. OutputFile is a standard C output stream that you send the symbolized disassembly to (also ASCII text). There is no need to fopen or fclose any of these streams (my test bench program will do it for you).

SymLength is the number of characters between the ‘[‘ and ‘]’ in the outputFile (which will range from 12 to 32). All expressions of the form <symbolName>+<offset from symbol in base 10> should be exactly symLength characters long. Pad with spaces on the right if it’s shorter and remove characters from the right side of symbolName if it’s longer (always have the complete offset, unless it’s zero). SymLength is 13 in the example above.

The largest symbolFile you’ll receive is 512K and the largest inputFile you’ll receive is 50K. You can assume that you’ll have enough space for the outputFile. Before returning, your routine should dispose of any memory it might allocate.

Unlike some previous Challenges where you were allowed to write an untimed Initialize routine, there is no Initialize routine this month. The time it takes you to parse the symbolFile will be included in your overall time. The average inputFile will be 20K and contain 800 addresses to look up. The average symbolTable will contain 2000 symbols.

E-mail me if you have any questions. Have fun.

Two Months Ago Winner

Congratulations to Challenge Champion Bob Boonstra (Westford, MA) for earning his sixth win in the Rubik’s Cube Challenge. This is a special month for Bob because he has decided to retire from Programming Challenges and become the first person to enter the Programmer’s Challenge Hall of Fame. Bob included this note along with his entry:

Should I be so fortunate as to win, I would like to announce my retirement from regular Programmer's Challenge competition. I may enter occasionally, particularly for any assembly language challenges or PowerMac challenges, but I want to devote more time to other pursuits. Besides, it's time to give someone else a chance. I have truly enjoyed the Challenges, and I commend Mike for keeping people focused on efficiency.

- Bob Boonstra

Well, Bob, thanks for playing. We’ve all enjoyed learning optimization tricks from a master programmer during the last couple of years. I’m sure it will be a while before anyone collects as many wins as you have to take away your title.

Here are the times and code sizes for each entry. Numbers in parens after a person’s name indicate how many times that person has finished in the top 5 places of all previous Programmer Challenges, not including this one:

Name time code+data

Bob Boonstra (13) 79 72,892

Ernst Munter (4) 156 4,526

Allen Stenger (8) 222 9,872

Robert Hearn 266 4,492

Jim Lloyd (1) 900 33,044

As always, Bob’s code is well commented and fun to read. In addition to studying it for efficiency tips (and interesting macro definitions) you can bet that I’ll be watching the moves it makes to try and learn how to put my cube back to its initial state. Maybe someday I’ll be able to solve any cube in the theoretical 22 or 23 moves. Right, and maybe monkeys will fly out of my butt, too...

Problem Statement

Solve Rubiks cube, given an initial state by a call to MikeCubeToRubiksCube. Provide access to solution progress via RubiksCubeToMikeCube. Return 1 when cube is solved, 0 after an intermediate move, and -1 if the cube is unsolvable.

Background

Although it hasn’t been proven, it is believed that “God’s algorithm” for solving the cube requires something like 22 or 23 moves in the worst case. Back in the 1970s, when the cube was introduced, Singmaster and Thistlethwaite published solutions that solve the cube in ~52 moves, and that result has probably been improved upon since then. (These numbers may count half-turns as a single move instead of two quarter-turn moves - some people prefer to count that way.) For those interested in the cube, there is an active mailing list - send mail to cube-lovers-request@ai.mit.edu for more info. In the event that Singmaster, Thistlethwaite, God, or an avid cube-lover doesn’t enter the challenge, we offer this solution.

Solution strategy

This solution is based on the now out-of-print book by Don Taylor, entitled Mastering Rubik’s Cube, and sold at the time for the princely sum of $1.95. While not in any way optimal, the solution in the book has the advantage of being (relatively) easy to remember.

We solve the cube using the following steps:

1. Solve the edge cubes in the top layer.

2. Solve the corner cubes in the top layer.

3. Solve the (edge) cubes in the middle layer.

4. Move the bottom layer corner cubes to the correct position.

5. Orient the bottom layer corner cubes correctly.

6. Move the bottom layer edge cubes to the correct position.

7. Orient the bottom layer edge cubes correctly.


This solution trades a large amount of space (code) for speed. The operators that transform the cube are coded as macros, rather than as subroutines. (These macros were generated by an auxiliary program.)
