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

GDB Dashboard

https://github.com/cyrus-and/gdb-dashboard

This GDB configuration uses the official GDB Python API to show us whatever we want whenever GDB stops after for example next, much like TUI.

However I have found that this implementation is a more robust and configurable alternative to the built-in GDB TUI mode as explained at: gdb split view with code

For example, we can configure GDB Dashboard to show disassembly, source, registers and stack with:

dashboard -layout source assembly registers stack

Here is what it looks like if you enable all available views instead:
