Re: Mixed mode disassembly listing -- impossible?

[Hui Zhu <teawater@gmail.com>]

I try it with gdb-cvs-head:

(top-gdb) disassemble /m main
Dump of assembler code for function main:
26	{
0x0808ce30 <main+0>:	lea    0x4(%esp),%ecx
0x0808ce34 <main+4>:	and    $0xfffffff0,%esp

0x0808ce3a <main+10>:	push   %ebp
0x0808ce3b <main+11>:	mov    %esp,%ebp
0x0808ce3d <main+13>:	push   %ecx

28	  memset (&args, 0, sizeof args);

29	  args.argc = argc;
0x0808ce57 <main+39>:	mov    %eax,-0x14(%ebp)

30	  args.argv = argv;

31	  args.use_windows = 0;
0x0808ce49 <main+25>:	movl   $0x0,-0xc(%ebp)

32	  args.interpreter_p = INTERP_CONSOLE;
0x0808ce50 <main+32>:	movl   $0x8299148,-0x8(%ebp)

33	  return gdb_main (&args);
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---
0x0808ce5d <main+45>:	mov    %ecx,(%esp)
0x0808ce60 <main+48>:	call   0x808ce70 <gdb_main>

34	}
0x0808ce65 <main+53>:	add    $0x14,%esp
0x0808ce68 <main+56>:	pop    %ecx
0x0808ce69 <main+57>:	pop    %ebp
0x0808ce6a <main+58>:	lea    -0x4(%ecx),%esp
0x0808ce6d <main+61>:	ret

End of assembler dump.
(top-gdb) quit

Everything is OK.


Thanks,
