Displaying Machine Instructions

You can display the machine instructions for entire routines as follows:

Dive on the address of an assembler instruction in the Source Pane (such as main+0x10 or 0x60). A Variable Window displays the instructions for the entire function, and highlights the instruction you dove on.

Dive on the PC in the Stack Frame Pane. A Variable Window displays the instructions for the entire function that contains the PC, and also highlights the instruction pointed to by the PC.

Cast a variable to type $code or array of $code. For example:

$code[20]

displays twenty code instructions, as shown in Figure 185.

The Variable Window lists the following information about each machine instruction:

Offset+Label

The symbolic address of the location as a hexadecimal offset from a routine name.

Code

The hexadecimal value stored in the location.

Instruction

The instruction and operands stored in the location.
