Greetings,
I’ve been given responsibility for assembly code which needs serious
debugging. Unfortunately, the previous keeper of the source wasn’t into
Visual Source Safe…and fell a little behind in documentation…
I was given one version of source code, and several executables (none of
which was built from the source given to me, of course).
This code is an option rom for an ATA/ATAPI controller.
Now, some of these exes work on some systems, and some work on others. It
would be *so* nice to know what the differences are between them, that I’m
thinking disassembling the exes of interest might be worth it.
Can anyone suggest a good disassembler?
Harmony,

IDA (http://www.datarescue.com/ida.htm) - the best, without a doubt.
There’s a demoware version that’s better than most of the unrestricted
ones from other companies.
Oh yeah, and there’s debug.com.

IDA Pro is a rather good one : http://www.datarescue.com
Some like also W32DASM 8.9x from URSoftware …

Sourcer from www.v-com.com is a good one that I have used. It will be a
full time job for several man/woman months to do “several” executables. As
you disassemble each piece you modify a file that adds more and more
information to each successive run of Sourcer. There is a Windows Source
module if the programs are not pure MS-DOS executables or .COM files.
I would approach it as follows:
- Get all the files I can find that match a particular executable. You
are looking for debug files, source files, and the .MAP file.
- Run Sourcer and see how much variation exists between a current compile
of the sources you have available. Check size differences between external
labels. Don’t forget that the compiler libraries might have changed and try
to match them if possible. Try to compile the new version with varying
optimization levels and options until you match closest to that of your
released executable.
- When you get it down to a few functions that have variations, keep
running sourcer until you understand the code and can match it to the
sources. Then modify the sources to incorporate the new functionality
and/or bug fixes.
Good luck. I have seen your company’s products in Sam’s Club and other
locations.

HIEW is more or less good, a full-screen DOS tool.

There’s a demoware version that’s better than most of the
unrestricted
ones from other companies.
Oh yeah, and there’s debug.com.
… and also dumpbin /disasm

Steve & Max,
I’ve obtained decent results using dumpbin /disasm. But it only produces
usable results when I have a symbol file (.PDB) for the module being
disassembled. If the symbol file is present in the directory containing
the module, dumpbin is able to put symbolic info in the listing it
produces. Just make sure that you use the version of dumpbin from Visual
Studio .NET if you want to disassemble modules from WinXP.
OTOH, I’m glad to see these other suggestions. I had no idea there were
other tools available ! Thanks.

Christine,
Nobody suggested SoftICE. It is best known as a debugger but I it may
be worth looking into (cost $799). I think IDA Pro is much cheaper
($300).

There are a few reasons to use SoftIce, but they are nearly as important as
they used to be:
Windows 9x, forget anything provided by Microsoft and use SoftIce. If you
use it for 9x, it is much easier to use it for NT as well.
Boss too stupid to buy a second system, but SoftIce costs more. Different
budget maybe?
You have money to burn. In that case, why not buy a real ICE?
The ability to package the source and debug info into a single file is one
advantage to SoftIce.

windbg over serial was a bit pokey, but now that I’ve switched over to

Ok, cannot hold it back:
Did I mentioned that windbg with firewire is not quick enough to
handle debug-outs in an usb driver with isochronous pipes 
But here is the workaround (works for me):
Run ‘debugview’ on the target and deselect ‘pass-through’.
The only problem now is, when your target bugchecks you can not access
the debuglog of ‘debugview’ in windbg.

Ok, cannot hold it back:
Lets re-start the neverending thread #3 
Did I mentioned that windbg with firewire is not quick enough to
handle debug-outs in an usb driver with isochronous pipes
SoftICE could help there; it is fast enough in UVD mode and traps bugchecks
so you’d see everything.

Have you tried Process Crash Dump feature?
