Hi, I'm new here (and new to assembly). I am trying to get symbolic debugging information linked in with my binaries, so I can debug with gdb (and see comments and avoid gdb's hideous AT&T syntax disassembly). Does anyone know how to do this?

I am using gcc as my linker (rather, as a frontend for my linker, because I don't want to have to find out which file each c external is in).

I saw that fasm has a -s option for outputting symbolic information in the 'fas' format. Is there anything I can do with the file it outputs, or do I have to write some software to use it?

Is there either a fas -> DWARF or fas -> stabs converter I don't know about? Should I write one?

Yes, please! There is no one yet.

Read this thread for more information: http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=9792

It would be great if you could join development and create some converters.

So there is no way to generate debugging symbols for gdb?
(i am new to fasm under linux, i use elf object format and then gcc/ld to link)
