#31 using stdin (was: Two more command line options for ndisasm)

[Anonymous]

It would be useful if one could specify a number of
bytes to disassemble, in case one doesn't want the
whole file disassembled. Say -n <count>.

It would be useful to be able to disassemble from stdin.

Amazingly NDISASM already supports stdin. Just type:

ndisasm - < infile

I'm gonna look into ading the same capability to NASM.

Argh, adding stdin support to NASM is not going to
be as trivial as I had thought initially, because
the input file is read once per pass. As a result,
only the very first pass sees the stdin contents.

So to make this work for NASM, we'd have to buffer
the stdin contents during the first pass, and use
that buffered contents during subsequent passes.

Which isn't something I can spend time on right now.

Maybe later.

With the attached changes an input file name of "-" can
be used to select stdin.

Note that support for -bm or -bf is required -- see SF
RFE #897003 for details.

It would be also useful to assemble from stdin.
