Paper Reading Questions

For each paper, you should submit two text files via the Gradescope submission web site, as described below. The submission is due before lecture. (The Gradescope entry code for 6.5660 is 3JZ23X.)

• Submit your answer for each lecture's paper question in a file named answer.txt.
• Submit your own question about the paper (e.g., what you find most confusing about the paper or the paper's general context/problem) in a file named question.txt. You cannot use the question below. To the extent possible, during lecture we will try to answer these questions. If you submit your question before midnight the day before lecture, then there is a chance we will answer by email. Below, we have included the questions we've received from students in past years (when available), along with answers to those questions, in case you find it helpful.

      char *p = malloc(256);
      char *q = p + 256;
      char ch = *q;
