That's not really my point though, is it. Let's take a step back. How do I explain to a user that while, yes, s/he can set a breakpoint on p-exp.y:parse_number, s/he cannot disassemble it (in any easy way). I could be missing something of course. btw, somewhat related and somewhat tangential, I think we'll want to expand expressions to take file names. How do I (easily) print foo.c:baz instead of bar.c:baz from an arbitrary point in the program? "print foo.c:baz" is the obvious choice of course, but I if necessary (and acceptable) I could see "print -f foo.c baz". It does preclude expressions based on multiple files, but I can live with that. [Some might want /X instead of -f, where X is some as yet unused display option for print, but I'm not convinced it's better.] [Again, this is all assuming "print foo.c:baz" can't work. Plus, while linespecs don't always rquire filenames to be quoted, I could live with "print 'foo.c':baz" too, if necessary.] But getting back to disassemble, from a u/i perspective I can't rationalize the current behaviour. -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
