How do I make gdb frontends show the current instruction arrow in assembly source code window?

Question

I\'m doing some x86 assembler coding on Linux (Arch 64), using nasm to assemble and ld to link, to create a 32-bit executable thus:

wordcount: wordcount.o
    ld         


        

Answer 1

You should use the dwarf format instead of stabs, like so:

nasm -f elf -g -F dwarf wordcount.asm -l wordcount.lst
