  • gdbgui/src/js/SourceCode.tsx: Added logic for detecting assembly mnemonics and operands (like registers, memory addresses and constats)
  • gdbgui/static/css/gdbgui.css: Added necessary css-style classes for highlighting the detected assembly

Summary of changes

  • Gdbgui now highlights all parts of an assembly instruction, instead of interpreting it as one big instruction.
  • Highlighting now looks like real gdb disassembly

Test plan

Tested by running the following commands inside the cloned repo after the changes:

cd gdbgui # cd into source folder npm install npm run build cd .. # cd back to repo python3 -m gdbgui
