<sect2>How do I debug pure assembly code under Linux?
<p>
An answer from <url url="mailto:dl@gazeta.ru" name="Dmitry Bakhvalov">:
If you're using <tt/gas/, you should consult
<url url="http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~bjorn/CS200/linux_tutorial/"
name="Linux assembly Tutorial"> by Bjorn Chambless.
With <tt/nasm/ situation is a bit different, since it doesnot
support gdb specific debugging extensions.
Although <tt/gdb/ is source-level debugger, it can be used to debug
pure assembly code, and with some trickery you can make <tt/gdb/ to do what you need.

An additional note from ???:

I have such a macro in my .gdbinit for quite some time now, and it
for sure makes life easier. A small difference : I use "x /8i $pc",
which guarantee a fixed number of disassembled instructions. Then,
with a well chosen size for my xterm, gdb output looks like it is
refreshed, and not scrolling.

If you want to set breakpoints across your code, you can just use
<tt/int 3/ instruction as breakpoint (instead of entering address
manually in <tt/gdb/).

Definitely <tt/strace/ can help a lot (<tt/ktrace/ and <tt/kdump/ on FreeBSD),
