Is there a way to have a "live" view of registers while stepping through code in gdb in the Terminal? The distribution that comes with X doesn't appear to be configured with --enable-tui...

create a text file in your home directory called ".gdbinit". Give it the following contents:
source /usr/libexec/gdb/plugins/MacsBug/gdbinit-MacsBug


Make sure that your terminal window is nice'n'large and type 'mb'. Type 'mb' again to get out. 'help macsbug' to see your newly installed commands (mostly stuff for stepping through ASM).

If you use the step commands ('so' and 'si', you'll get a live register display without needing to enter the 'mb' mode.

Exactly what I needed, thanks.
