How to make objdump -D only display specific function in Windows?

I want to display the machine code of a specific function. For example, in Linux I would enter:

objdump -D x.out | grep -A20 main.:

What would the equivalent be in Windows?

Solution

  • What would the equivalent be in windows?

    Off the top of head, you just save the output into a file:

    objdump -D x.out > x.out.dump

    then open the file (x.out.dump) in the text editor of choice.

    On Windows to peek into the object code I find myself mostly using GUI debuggers. Windows is not very command-line friendly environment. Otherwise, you might want to install the CygWin, start bash in terminal or the cmd.exe and use the grep as if you were under Linux.
