DIS
Disassembles a single NM or CM assembly instruction, based on the current
mode.
Syntax
DIS nmword [virtaddr]
DIS cmword1 [cmword2] [cmlogaddr]
The DCx (display code) commands can be used to display a block of code at
a specified address. The program windows also display disassembled code.
Parameters
nmword The Precision Architecture instruction to disassemble.
All disassembled values are in decimal unless otherwise
indicated.
cmword1 The CM HP 3000 instruction to disassemble.
cmword2 A second CM HP 3000 instruction to disassemble for
double-word instructions.
virtaddr If a virtual address is given, this value is used when
computing branch addresses. That is, "disassemble this
instruction as if it were at the indicated address." A
valid virtual address results in branch targets being
printed as a procedure name plus offset. If this value
is omitted, branch targets always appear as numeric
values.
cmlogaddr If a CM logical address is specified, the address is
used to compute the targets of CM PCAL instructions.
Cmlogaddr must be a full CM logical code address
(LCPTR).
For example,
CMPC Current CM program counter
CMPW+4 Top of CM program window + 4
PROG(2.102) Program file logical seg 2 offset
102
fopen+102 CM procedure fopen + %102
(assumes CM mode)
cmaddr('fopen')+%102 CM procedure fopen + %102 (NM or
CM mode)
Examples
$nmdebug > dis 6bc23fd9
STW 2,-20(0,30)
This NM example disassembles the NM word $6bc23fd9 into the STW
instruction.
$nmdebug > dis e84001d8
BL $000000f4,2
$nmdebug > dis e84001d8, a.4adeb4
BL test_proc+$68,2
This NM example disassembles the word $e84001d8 into a BL instruction.
In the second command, the virtual address of the instruction is
specified, and the disassembler is able to compute and to display the
effective procedure name target of the branch.
%cmdebug > dis 41101
LOAD DB+%101
This CM example disassembles the single CM word %41101 into the LOAD
DB+%101 instruction.
%cmdebug > dis 20477 43
LDDW SDEC=1
This CM example disassembles the two CM words, %20477 and %43, into the
LDDW SDEC=1 instruction.
%cmdat > dis 31163
PCAL %163
%cmdat > dis 31163,,sys(25.0)
PCAL ?SWITCH'TO'NM'
%cmdat > dis 31163,,sys(1.0)
PCAL ?ATTACHIO
These CM examples involve the CM PCAL instruction. In the first example,
31163 is recognized as the PCAL instruction, but the STT number is
invalid for the current CM segment. In the second example, the
instruction is disassembled as if it were found in CM logical segment SYS
%25, and the resulting destination of the PCAL is displayed as
?SWITCH'TO'NM. The third example indicates that within CM logical segment
SYS 1, the resulting target of a PCAL %163 is ?ATTACHIO.

control-Y encountered
%cmdat >
This example demonstrates how a simple loop can be used to display the
targets for each STT entry within the current CM segment. Since we know
that %31000 is the PCAL instruction, we simply add the desired STT number
and use the DIS command to display the target entry point name.
Control-Y is used to terminate the loop.

CAUTION The output format of all System Debug commands is subject to
change without notice. Programs that are developed to
postprocess System Debug output should not depend on the exact
format (spacing, alignment, number of lines, uppercase or
lowercase, or spelling) of any System Debug command output.
