Switching to assembly in gdb

Is there is any way to switch to assembly when debugging a C or C++ program in gdb ? (Given that all source files and their corresponding assembly files are available)

From stackoverflow

• There is a way to disassemble a function or a certain section of code, is that what you are after?

  The command to do so would be disassemble <function name> or a memory location.

  Is this what you are referring to?

  (gdb) help disassemble
  Disassemble a specified section of memory.
  Default is the function surrounding the pc of the selected frame.
  With a single argument, the function surrounding that address is dumped.
  Two arguments are taken as a range of memory to dump.
  

  Ben : actually yes .. thanks

• Using the disas command will probably do what you want.

  According to the internal help, the disas command does the following:

  Disassemble a specified section of memory.
  Default is the function surrounding the pc of the selected frame.
  With a single argument, the function surrounding that address is dumped.
  Two arguments are taken as a range of memory to dump.
  

• In the new gdb version 7.0, the "disassemble" command can take a new argument "/m" which makes it emit mixed source and disassembly.

• You can switch to asm layout in gdb:

  (gdb) layout asm
