Jascha,

any chance we could get the following commands in an upcoming release of ddbg?

df: Dumps FPU stack, formatted as floating point numbers.
dx TYPE: Dumps the XMM registers, formatting them as the given type (ie:
float to display as 4 32-bit floats, ubyte to display as 16 8-bit
unsigned integers, etc.).

I've been using ddbg to play around with optimising some of my vector code, and being able to dump the XMM registers would be massively helpful (why are you returning 9 and not 14 you silly dot product?!). The FPU stack one is more out of curiosity than anything else :)

Also, I don't think I've said this before, but thanks very much for writing and working on ddbg: it's an absolute god-send, especially since WinDBG seems to crash on disassembling SSE code and NASM can't seem to disassemble it properly either.

you'll have it.
they'll all come with the dr command though, with a separate switch for
the register sets x86, x86 segs, x87, MMX, SSE, SSE2, 3DNOW!

oh ok, forget SSE2 and 3DNOW! - makes little sense as long D inline asm doesn't support them...

That doesn't mean they won't be used in (mostly-)D programs. You can still use a separate assembler and link the output in.

(And for the really perverse, db and friends can emit any code you like from within the inline assembler :P)

that's right. Ddbg doesn't support debugging non-D code, though.
on the other hand SSE2 only means new registers on AMD cpus and 3dnow is
just a reinterpretation of the mmx registers.
i added all the interpretations of the XMM and MM registers but didn't
bother to get the AMD specific SSE2 extensions.

therefore it's going to be MMX, 3DNOW!, SSE and SSE2 intel.
the switches will be cpu, fpu, mmx, sse.

Are your sure that SSE2 and 3DNOW! aren't supported by DMD?

While there are a number of FPU and cvtp* related bugs, SSE1/2/3 and 3DNOW! seem to work on my box.

Thomas

you're right. what i meant were the AMD specific SSE2 extensions.
and i was wrong about the 3DNOW! registers, there is no such thing - i
didn't know that (it's just a different interpretation of the MMX
registers, which are a different interpretation of the FPU registers).

Many thanks for this.  The only thing is that the MM and XMM registers can store quite a few different types.  For instance, IIRC, all the original MMX instructions dealt with integers, whilst 3DNow! added floats.  SSE2 also adds integer types for the XMM registers, so being able to say "dump the XMM registers as, oh let's call them uint's" would be handy :)

Other than that, looks perfect :)

yeah, i was going the lazy way of always printing them in all possible
types, but i guess for XMM regs there are too many.
imho, the right way to do this is to allow registers in expressions.
then they can be cast to the desired type.
->= cast(float[4])xmm0
That should also come in handy if you want to do something like
->= cast(MyClass*)eax

For instance, IIRC, all the original MMX instructions dealt with integers, whilst 3DNow! added floats.  SSE2 also adds integer types for the XMM registers, so being able to say "dump the XMM registers as, oh let's call them uint's" would be handy :)

I wasn't going to ask for that since I figured it would be more work, but whatever makes you happy :)
