Description Simone Scanzoni 2012-10-26 15:50:09 UTC

Created attachment 327476 [details]
ddd-3.3.12-gdb-disassembler-bug.patch

Using ddd with gdb, Machine Code Window (View -> Machine Code Window) does not show disassembled code; instead, you can see the message "A syntax error in expression, near `<hex_address>'".

The bug is caused by ddd using the old syntax for gdb command "disassemble", which used to require blank space as a separator between starting and ending address. The new syntax (introduced by a commit from Paul Pluzhnikov on november 23rd, 2009) requires a comma between the two addresses.

Attached is the trivial patch that restores the correct behaviour I found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ddd/+bug/594883
