assembly - MIPS: lw (load word) instruction -

-

is lw $s0,8($0) same lw $s0,0($v0)?

i not see difference. think 8 represents offset, means need addres of $0 , add 2 (8/4) address.

edit:

my question lw instruction , mips register set. pretty difficult me understand how offset works...

they not same, although in circumstances behave alike. format of lw instruction follows:

lw regdest, offset(regsource)

where regdest , regsource mips registers, , offset immediate.

it means, load register regdest word contained in address resulting adding contents of register regsource , offset specified. resulting source address must word-aligned (i.e. multiple of 4)

therefore, lw $s0,8($0) means load in $s0 contents of word located @ address specified $0 plus 8. $0 register $zero contain constant zero, load word located in absolute address 8 $s0.

lw $s0,0($v0) means load in $s0 contents of word located @ address specified $v0. if $v0 contains value 8 both instructions have same effect. if $v0 not multiple of 4, instruction generate addressing trap.

usually lw pseudoinstruction in sense assembler may emmit more 1 instruction accomplish instruction. offset (displacement) has 16-bit signed value. if instruction has immediate more bits, assembler use temporary register ($at) hold contents of immediate , emmit equivalent instructions perform intended behavior. may see in action using dissassembler or mips monitor (also inspecting code mars simulator).

i'm using unity3d networked multiplayer online game have large complex 3d terrain scene forest, trees, cliff, hills, mountains, bounders, etc. players can build structures sort of minecraft, , put them anywhere in scene, or move them around anytime. aside human controlled players, there automated ai players , objects animals roaming around scene following path. the problem how make these automated ai players , animals, able navigate around static , dynamic player created structures, because path follow can blocked player created structures, or other players , other ai objects, cliffs etc. have find away around them or on track if tumble down off high cliff example. so made navmesh , used navagents, takes care of static, non moving objects, how make ai players navigate around each other , dynamic structures created players can number in hundreds? i thought of adding navmeshobstacle everything, result in being attached hundreds of objects since user created structures b...
