symdeb for amd64

[David F.]

Anyone know of a AMD64 compatible symdeb/debug (command line) type debugger?
I use them all the time to test instruction results. For i386 I use ddeb,
but don't know of an AMD64 version?

I saw that but how can I run it without giving a file name so I can just "a"
and do my own thing? or do I have to pass an .exe to it?

What do you mean by "a"? By "file name" do you mean debugger's name
(cdb.exe) or debuggee's name? All command options of cdb.exe can be
displayed by running cdb.exe.

Happy New Year!

debuggee .. In other words just like debug or symdbg .. enter "debug" and
you end up at a debug prompt where you can then do "a" and add a couple
instructions, then hit "t" a couple times to test the results (or "u" to
determine code size), "rip" to set it back to 100, etc.. I don't need to
debug any .exe. For i386 based instructions I use ddeb (because
debug/symdeb never added support for 386 instructions). Basically a simple
debugger for testing instructions.

Hello

I confirmed that debug.exe does not exist on x64 systems. debug.exe is only
in x86 systems for compatibility reasons. You may consider writing your
test assembly code into a asm file and compile the file with ml64.exe, then
debug the output with the a real debugger (e.g windbg or cdb).

I have not tried debuggers developed by 3rd party.
