    The document discusses different addressing modes for a target machine. It describes how a location can be a variable name referring to its memory location, or an indexed address using a variable and register. For example, LD R1, a(R2) loads the value at memory location a + contents of R2 into R1. An address can also be an integer indexed by a register, like LD R1, 100(R2) which loads the value at 100 + contents of R2 into R1. These addressing modes are useful for accessing array elements and following pointers.

    We assume our target machine has a variety of addressing modes:


    • In instructions, a location can be a variable name x referring to the memory
    location that is reserved for x (that is, the I-value of x) .
    • A location can also be an indexed address of the form a (r), where a is
    a variable and r is a register. The memory location denoted by a(r) is
    computed by taking the I-value of a and adding to it the value in register
    r. For example, the instruction LD Rl , a (R2 ) has the effect of setting
    Rl = contents ( a + contents (R2) ) , where contents(x) denotes the contents
    of the register or memory location represented by x. This addressing
    mode is useful for accessing arrays, where a is the base address of the
    array (that is, the address of the first element), and r holds the number
    of bytes past that address we wish to go to reach one of the elements of
    arrCLY a.
    • A memory location can be an integer indexed by a register. For example,
    LD Rl , 100 (R2 ) has the effect of setting R l = contents (100 +
    contents (R2) ) , that is, of loading into R l the value in the memory location
    obtained by adding 100 to the contents of register R2. This feature
    is useful for following pointers, as we shall see in the example below.
