| used with the <code>-data-disassemble</code> command. |
| </p> |
| <p>For modes 0 and 2 the ‘<samp>asm_insns</samp>’ list contains tuples with the |

| <dl compact="compact"> |
| <dt><code>address</code></dt> |

| bytes for the ‘<samp>inst</samp>’ field. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| <p>For modes 1 and 3 the ‘<samp>asm_insns</samp>’ list contains tuples named |
| ‘<samp>src_and_asm_line</samp>’, each of which has the following fields: |
| </p> |
| <dl compact="compact"> |
| <dt><code>line</code></dt> |
| <dd><p>The line number within ‘<samp>file</samp>’. |

| <p>This command attempts to read all accessible memory regions in the |
| specified range. First, all regions marked as unreadable in the memory |
| map (if one is defined) will be skipped. See <a href="Memory-Region-Attributes.html#Memory-Region-Attributes">Memory Region Attributes</a>. Second, <small>GDB</small> will attempt to read the remaining |
| regions. For each one, if reading full region results in an errors, |
| <small>GDB</small> will try to read a subset of the region. |
| </p> |
| <p>In general, every single memory unit in the region may be readable or not, |
| and the only way to read every readable unit is to try a read at |
| every address, which is not practical. Therefore, <small>GDB</small> will |
| attempt to read all accessible memory units at either beginning or the end |
| of the region, using a binary division scheme. This heuristic works |
| well for reading accross a memory map boundary. Note that if a region |

| <small>GDB</small> will not read it. |
