Re: Disassembling support in Nemiver

[Dodji Seketeli <dodji seketeli org>]

Hello,

Following my previous email on this topic, I went to hack on the support 
of mixed asm/source disassembling. Quoting that email, the support was 
about:

So the asm-support branch[1] now has the initial support of this feature 
as you can see on this humble screenshot:

It's a bit rough because the mixed view doesn't show the actual line of 
source code but rather shows <src file="file.cc" line="15/>. So I need 
to write a small codelet that would display the actual line of code 
instead. That should not be too hard now :-)

I have added a "debugger" preferences tab to the preferences dialog to 
choose between the "pure asm" or "mixed source/asm" disassembly style. I 
have also added the option of choosing which GDB binary Nemiver should 
use on the system -- at long last:

So now I guess I need to display the actual source code lines content in
the mixed asm mode and this mixed asm/source disassembling feature will
be done.

Cheers.
