Is there a utility like CodeView that I can use to step through code assembled by NASM where I can see the current state of the registers/memory?

    The question should be phrased thus: how do I make NASM emit debugger info? Pretty much every single modern debugger (Visual Studio, Eclipse, Xcode, gdb) allows for assembly-level tracing and register/memory inspection. The trick is to make your program debugger-friendly.

  • I was able to setup Visual Studio to step through the assembly. Thanks for the insight! Commented Jan 13, 2010 at 17:15
  • See the bottom of the x86 tag wiki for some asm debugging tips for GDB like layout reg, mentions of some GUI front-ends for GDB, and for Visual Studio asm debugging. Commented Oct 17, 2021 at 8:19

ok, gdb is fine. But if you are interested in graphical software, I recommend you to use SASM (SimpleASM). It is like an IDE for the most popular assembly languages. So, look at here

I used to compile assembly code with gas, and link it with ld, and then use gdb to debug it. I don't know if it's applicable to you, but it should.
