PODUMP formatter for 64 bit.

[hutch--]

I have yet to find a decent disassembler for Win64 and needed to be able to have a look at the mnemonic code produced by a couple of different 64 bit assemblers, POASM and JWASM. I have put together a tool that accepts a PODUMP dump of a 64 bit object module that converts it from a very rudimentary form to something like human readable assembler.

The reason for disassembling the object module rather than the executable is the object module has a lot more useful information in it including procedure names and variable names. The PHUN part was resolving the procedure call addresses and the jumps to label address resolution then locating the hex numbers that don't have a trailing "h" and converting them to unsigned decimal numbers, both in and outside of complex addressing mode.

The attached zip file has the tool and 2 dumps from PODUMP, one of a very simple dump of a POASM obj, the other from a JWASM obj. Either use the command line or just drop either dump file onto the tool. If you install it  on the same drive as MASM32, QE will display the results which are saved to a file first. If you place on a different drive you can view the output file.

NOTE : You run PODUMP with the following command line or in a batch file.

yourpath\podump.exe /disasm:NOCODEBYTES test.obj > dump.txt

The JWASM formatted dump looks like this.

Seems you are putting a lot of time and effort into the 64 bit side...I was wondering how a dual chip 64 bit system shakes out as far as speed or ability to compute large data.

[anunitu]

Did manage to find this about dual core and multi core,but it is a bit deep for my level of understanding,but interesting non the less.

Intel are the folks who publish the info you need, a read around their site would probably answer your question but generally a quad core processor with hyperthreading will give you 8 effective cores for 8 threads so there is not as much need for multi processor machines as there once was.

That's the point. They're using only Dual Core or Quad Core machines at CERN (PC farm). It's enough calculation power (20 000 Cores).

I checked(took a bit to find the proper system thing) but found I have a quad core,so I think I will need to dig into the ins and outs of 64 bit with a quad core.  My Daughter bought the system for me,so was not aware of all its specs.(One bitch,they do not include a lot of paperwork with a new system anymore,would have loved to pore over the manual in hard copy form)

The toy you need is called CPU-Z. My guess she bought you an i5 Intel quad but download this toy and run it and you will be a wiser man. Once you identify the motherboard you go to their site and download the manual for it and you should end up with an almost unlimited supply of near useless information.  :P
