Description Johan Walles CLA 2002-11-27 09:40:45 EST 
If I ask to see disassembly for an address entirely devoid of debug information,
I would like the assembly view to be infinite.

Infinity should be implemented the same way as the for the memory view according
to bug 27217.
Comment 1 Johan Walles CLA 2002-11-28 10:50:55 EST 
For the case when the function boundaries are known, see bug 25956.
Comment 2 Kleo Hapitas CLA 2004-07-07 16:56:54 EDT 
PR was not targeted to any particular release. Changing target milestone to 2.1
Comment 3 Nobody - feel free to take it CLA 2004-11-15 11:23:22 EST 
Moving the target milestone to FUTURE.
Comment 4 Nobody - feel free to take it CLA 2004-12-21 12:10:50 EST 
Consider for 3.0, if time permits.
Comment 5 Nobody - feel free to take it CLA 2005-06-10 11:21:57 EDT 
Deffered.

What is the current status of this bug? I'm thinking of starting work on a solution.

I'm curious, did you do this in any other way than having the debugger step into code without debug info?

We'd like to have this issue resolved, so are you or anyone else look into it?

Windriver's view in bug 196064 addresses this.

We're generating code on the fly, then we call it.  Except on the IA64 I don't know of any way to educate GDB about the dynamically generated code.  So we call code without debug info.

As for any work being done, see comment 8.

Less than two months until the five year anniversary :-).

The current disassembly view is infinite. Marking resolved.
