What IDE (with debugging GUI) for assembler?

[vcppp_p]

Hi,
I need to use assembler a lot in coming weeks (for my university classes).
Under windows I'm using MASM with Visual C++ for debugging (it handles breakpoints and registry preview).
Is there anything similar for Ubuntu? Please, don't tell me that every source editor highlights the code ... I know that, but I need a debugger frontend!

thanks,
v.

As far for the Open source world, I don't believe there is one.

NASM might be your best start for something similar. They may suggest an IDE for assembly. I have never done assembly with an IDE personally, except to edit the files.

Nasm might also support gdb(gnu debugger).

Open Watcom comes with a an assembler, and also runs on Linux. I haven't done enough research to see if I could run assembly through its debugger yet.

can't help with an IDE
but gdb is perfectly capable of debugging assembler
with ddd you also have a good frontend to it. Although it looks archaic it has lots of very powerful features.

MMIX obviously provided you with your best options. But don't forget that http://asm.sourceforge.net/ is a fantastic starting-point for any *nix ASM resource search.

Emacs has an ASM mode available, plus integration with gdb.

However, the ddd GUI front-end available for gdb isn't available from within Emacs as far as I know.
