syntax-error

Below is the beginning of a chunk of SPIM code:

    .data
a:  .space  20
b:  .space  20

    .text
set_all:
    sw $ra,0($sp)
    li $t0,0
    li $t1,10
............

Unfortunately, the second array I declare ('b') causes the SPIM interpreter to spit out:

spim: (parser) syntax error on line 3
of file spim.out      b:    .space  20
                        ^

Similar code works when I only have one array -- it seems to be the second that screws it up. I've prodded at it but can't figure out what it is about that statement that makes it break. Any thoughts? Thanks for any insight.

Hey hey, I am working on a little mini compiler while trying to learn some MIPS here.

Hi, why does such a instruction as mul $t1, $v0 , 4 evaluates as expected. But mul $t1, 4 , $v0 results in a syntax error! I wonder why the first one works, because mul only works with registers per default, so I expect that only a solution like this will be workin li $t1, 4 … >>> More
