Question 20

Which of the following addressing modes are suitable for program relocation at run time?

(i)  Absolute addressing     (ii) Based addressing
(iii) Relative addressing     (iv) Indirect addressing 
A
(i) and (iv)
B
(i) and (ii)
C
(ii) and (iii)
D
(i), (ii) and (iv)
Question 20 Explanation: 
Absolute Addressing:
A fixed address in memory which indicates a location by specifying a distance from another location. In this displacement type addressing is preferred.
So, option A is false.
Based Addressing:
This scheme is used by computers to control access to memory. In this pointers are replaced by protected objects which can be executed by kernel (or) some other privileged process authors.
So, this is suitable for program relocation at runtime.
Relative Addressing:
The offset of the relative addressing is to allow reference to code both before and after the instruction.
This is also suitable.
Indirect Addressing:
Which leads to extra memory location which can be not suitable at run time.
This is not suitable.
→ Only Based Addressing and Relative Addressing are suitable.
Correct Answer: C
