Show current assembly instruction in GDB

Question

I\'m doing some assembly-level debugging in GDB. Is there a way to get GDB to show me the current assembly instruction in the same way that it shows the current source line?

Answer 1

You can do

display/i $pc

and every time GDB stops, it will display the disassembly of the next instruction.

GDB-7.0 also supports set disassemble-next-line on, which will disassemble the entire next line, and give you more of the disassembly context.
