Noonmid27 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hi guysIs there i way to see the machine code output of a program while its running and to see how the machine code changes when i tell the program to do something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crp Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 You need to be much clearer on what it is you are trying to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noonmid27 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 You need to be much clearer on what it is you are trying to seewell i mean how can i see the actually binary code of a program while it's running. i know that source code is compiled into binary code so that the cpu can run it.........is there a way to see the machine code while a program is running. i hope that is clearer.

lewmur Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) well i mean how can i see the actually binary code of a program while it's running. i know that source code is compiled into binary code so that the cpu can run it.........is there a way to see the machine code while a program is running. i hope that is clearer.Absolutely not!! A computer executes millions of instructions per second. Your eye can't detect that a movie is changing frames 32 times per second. How could you possibly tract a million instructions per second?In the early DOS days, when a program might only contain a few hundred instructions, it was possible to "single step" through a program in "debug" mode, but with today's programs, that would be impossible. It would take years to single step through the code to display a single picture.Hackers can change a program's behavior merely by changing a few discrete machine level hex codes. but even they don't attempt to "step" through and entire program to do so.
