# we must export the entry point to the ELF linker or
.global _start # loader. They conventionally recognize _start as their
# entry point. Use ld e foo to override the default.

# Function entry
addi sp, sp, -32 # Move stack pointer for locals
# 32 bytes gives us (32/8 =) 4 64 slots to use
# We will only store our return address/frame pointer
sd ra, 24(sp) # Store return address in stack memory
sd s0, 16(sp) # Store frame pointer in stack memory
addi s0, sp, 32 # Capture original stack pointer in s0
# Interpret as s0 = sp + 32
# Function arguments
sw a0, -20(s0) # Save first argument (num) to stack
# Be aware that we're now subtracting rather
# than adding because we just changed s0
# A long version of this would be sd a0, -24(s0)
# Function body
lw a0, -20(s0) # Load first argument (num) from stack
# This save/load is to make sure we have a copy
# of the original argument, which is not important
# here, but would be if this was a more serious
# function. We could just have easily comment
# out both instructions and avoid memory access
mulw a0, a0, a0 # Actually do the multiplication.
# Function exit
ld ra, 24(sp) # Restore return address from stack
ld s0, 16(sp) # Restore frame pointer from stack memory
