I've tried this version of ald before, but still can't get full symbolic capability. I believe the problem is not attributed to ald, but the inability of nasm to generate proper debugging information to the debugger. I've also tried the amended nasm version you've post on your site too, but I still encounter failure. If I am wrong on this point, would you please instruct me how to setup the debugging environment? For instance, which version of nasm/ld/ald should use, and if there are any parameter needed to be set during compliatoin, etc. After all, ald is much more similiar with the environment that I am using now. >>After I got the gift from Jeff, I've tried it out all night, and I >>finally figure out how to debug my asm program symboliclly under kdbg, >>with his suggestion of using another version of nasm.
