GDB uses architecture specific parameters and artifacts in a
number of its various computations. An architecture is represented
by an instance of the gdb.Architecture
class.
A gdb.Architecture
class has the following methods:
start_pc
[, end_pc
[, count
]])start_pc
. The optional arguments end_pc
and count
determine the number of instructions in the returned list. If both the optional arguments end_pc
and count
are specified, then a list of at most count
disassembled instructions whose start address falls in the closed memory address interval from start_pc
to end_pc
are returned. If end_pc
is not specified, but count
is specified, then count
number of instructions starting from the address start_pc
are returned. If count
is not specified but end_pc
is specified, then all instructions whose start address falls in the closed memory address interval from start_pc
to end_pc
are returned. If neither end_pc
nor count
are specified, then a single instruction at start_pc
is returned. For all of these cases, each element of the returned list is a Python dict
with the following string keys:addr
asm
disassembly-flavor

(see Registers In Python) for all of the registers in reggroup
, a string that is the name of a register group. If reggroup
is omitted, or is the empty string, then the register group ‘all
’ is assumed.
