[Cgdb-devel] cgdb and assembly

[Bob R. <bo...@br...>]

Hi,

I have been thinking about the best way to add assembly to cgdb.
As of now, cgdb  uses the line and file as the unique mapping to what
should be display to the user. This will probably change. I am not sure
how it should be implemented, but I think I have a clear idea of what it
should do.

IMO, there should be a colon command, that lets the user change the way
the current window displays to the user their program. Here are some:
1. Allow the window to show only the source code ( the default )=20
2. Allow the window to show only assembly
3. Allow the window to show mixed.

This should be modular so that the user can open a window, make it follow
the source, open another window, make it follow assembly, and open
another window and  make it be mixed. All of these things should work at
the same time.

What does everyone think? It seems like it will be a pretty hard task.
