8.4 Customizing Machine Code
============================

Enabling machine code via `Source => Display Machine Code' (Note:
Machine Code) toggles the following resource:

 -- Resource: disassemble (class Disassemble)
     If this is `on', the source code is automatically disassembled.
     The default is `off'.  Note: Options, for the `--disassemble'
     and `--no-disassemble' options.

   You can keep disassembled code in memory, using `Edit => Preferences
=> Source => Cache Machine Code':

 -- Resource: cacheMachineCode (class CacheMachineCode)
     Whether to cache disassembled machine code (`on', default) or not
     (`off').  Caching machine code requires more memory, but makes DDD
     run faster.

   You can control the indentation of machine code, using `Edit =>
Preferences => Source => Machine Code Indentation':

 -- Resource: indentCode (class Indent)
     The number of columns to indent the machine code, such that there
     is enough place to display breakpoint locations.  Default: `4'.

   The `maxDisassemble' resource controls how much is to be
disassembled.  If `maxDisassemble' is set to 256 (default) and the
current function is larger than 256 bytes, DDD only disassembles the
first 256 bytes below the current location.  You can set the
`maxDisassemble' resource to a larger value if you prefer to have a
larger machine code view.

 -- Resource: maxDisassemble (class MaxDisassemble)
     Maximum number of bytes to disassemble (default: `256').  If this
     is zero, the entire current function is disassembled.
