[gentoo-user] [OT] MS debug equivalent

[gentoo-user] [OT] MS debug equivalent

[Rodrigo Lazo]

Hi everybody,

sorry for the OT. I've been using debug.exe (a little program for work
with asm) at my college to learn about assembler and related
concepts. Does anyone know some equivalent for linux?

Thanks!

I remember DEBUG.EXE - I used to use it to change the copyright text in
COMMAND.COM from Microsoft Corp to MSullivan Tech.  I don't know of an
equivalent (I assume you want something interactive), but could you use
nasm?

I want to browse the ram contents and write some really simple
assembly programs. For the later I guess nasm could do the trick, but
for the former I guess I need another tool

I used debug.exe just a few semesters ago, but I don't remember it well.  If
you have an executable that you have already assembled, then check out
gdb...(GNU debugger).  It is a staple for any linux programmer, in fact, if
you go on to higher level programs like c or c++ you can use if for those
also.  There are also quite a few GUI frontends to make it easier to use.

If you want assembly on Linux, you can use 'as' to compile and 'ld' to
link. They are installed with binutils.
Also, I can recommend you the book "Programming from the ground up",
which covers assembly programming in Linux using standard tools. Its
goal is to try to teach assembly to someone without any prior
knowledge in any other computer language. Great book, this one...
