GDB is just too good for debugging ASM stuff. I recommend ALD, the Assembly Language Debugger. Install /usr/ports/devel/ald, and run `ald myprogram'. It doesn't need debug symbols beyond what NASM already provides :-) -- Josh _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
