Incorrect Memory Addressing in MIPS Assembly Leading to Segmentation Fault
Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm working on a MIPS assembly project that involves manipulating arrays, but I'm working with a segmentation fault when trying to access elements. The array is properly allocated in memory, and I believe I'm following the correct indexing method, but I keep getting the behavior. Here’s a simplified version of the code where the scenario arises: ```assembly .data array: .word 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 .text .globl main main: li $t0, 0 # Initialize index to 0 li $t1, 5 # Size of the array loop: bge $t0, $t1, end # Break if index >= size lw $t2, array($t0) # Load array element # Processing the element... addi $t0, $t0, 4 # Move to the next element (4 bytes per word) j loop # Repeat the loop end: li $v0, 10 # Exit syscall ``` When I run this code on the MARS simulator, it consistently throws a `Segmentation Fault` at the line where I try to load the element from the array. I suspect the scenario might be in how I'm calculating the address for the array access, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've tried various index values and made sure the array size is set correctly, but the question continues. Is there a specific way to calculate the address for the elements in MIPS that I'm missing here? Any help would be appreciated! My development environment is Windows. What's the best practice here? For context: I'm using Assembly on Ubuntu. What am I doing wrong?
