Hey, I have been learning x86 asm under linux on my own time... and I have a few questions regarding decompiling/disassembling. I am having a hard time finding a good tool that disassembles to intel(nasm) format. I have found :

http://udis86.sourceforge.net/

I have also heard of ndiasm, but can't find any info about it.

Does anyone have an recommendations. I am trying to learn more about how C compiles their code. I know about the gcc -S (which is nice). I have been using gdb for most of my asm projects... but I still need a something that can output compilable assembly from a compiled object (under linux).

I have looked at objdump but I would preffer something in Intel format... not AT & T. When I looked at the output assembly from a C program I compiled, using objdump... I noticed something. When I would do a printf it would push onto the stack an address to a string. That is all well and good... but I could not find that address in the disassembled output. Does anyone have any tips or refferences? Maybe I am confusing disassembling with decompiling. Maybe a decompiler to nasm is what I need.... just looking for advice(a swift kick in the right direction).

Thanks,
Brandito
