I might check that out again sometime when they're done. Googling brought me to Kdbg, but it seems unmaintained, although the page says they're working on porting it to KDE4. After some hours in gdb you can get frustrated, so please excuse my rant above 5 Disassembler for linux v.1.0 Development / Miscellaneous Free Freeware 0 Kb Download Program Disassembler Software in description Title Category Price License Hide all 1 VB Decompiler v.8.4 Development / IDEs & Coding. The recent task was to defuse a 'code bomb', which I had to disassemble, of course. I do have some knowledge of asm and some coding/calling conventions on this level. We didn't start with disassembling of course.

Maybe I should have elaborated a bit more on what I'm doing in the first place im my original post: this is homework from the semester course 'Computer architecture and system programming'. It feels like I'm using stuff from the 80's. 'display' makes it a bit easier, of course, but it's not really sufficient. I'd just like to be able to concentrate on what the app is doing instead of searching for all the data I need after each and every step. I just find it tedious to work with, because I can't see all my information (registers, stack, stuff stack and registers reference to, etc.) in a nice, formatted way at one glance. The options read are inserted in place of the original file option. file Read command-line options from file. This option directs the disassembler to disassemble those blocks, just like any other data.

Well, as I stated in the OP, I am using gdb. z-disassemble-zeroes Normally the disassembly output will skip blocks of zeroes.
