debugging solution

Post by ezome »

does anyone know a asm debugging solution that works? ;)
mine broke when i had to recompile bochs to enable vbe

so far i tried bfe/bochs, gdb/bochs, gdb/qemu on cygwin
but all of them crashed or didn't run i guess because the versions didn't match

is there any all in one solution including some emulator "and" debugger that
works right from the start for windows or linux?
and please don't mention the qemu monitor as long as there is no way to get
a proper memory output that's not as ugly and unreadable as the one at the console

Have you tried bochs' built-in debugger? (no gdb or anything) There are prebuilt debugger versions available from the website and you can pass a configure-time switch that does the same.

I had the same problems, so I got gdb's sources, compiled it on cygwin and now it runs fine. I use qemu 0.9.0 and gdb 6.6.

P.S. Insight 6.6 works too :-)
