Registers (F2)

The Registers view shows a full-screen display of all CPU registers with their current values and dereference chains.

Display

Each register is shown as:

register_name  0xVALUE → dereferenced_value → ...

• Register names are left-padded for alignment
• Values are displayed in hexadecimal
• Values are color-coded by memory region (heap/stack/code)
• Changed registers are highlighted in red — registers whose values changed since the last stop

Dereference Chains

Each register value is automatically dereferenced to follow pointer chains:

rax  0x7fffffffe000 → 0x00400580 → main+0 (push rbp)
rdi  0x7fffffffe1a8 → 0x7fffffffe3b0 → "/home/user/a.out"
rsp  0x7fffffffdfe0 → 0x0000000000000001

The dereference engine:

• Follows pointers through memory, reading ptr_size bytes at each step
• Detects ASCII strings and displays them in yellow
• Detects code pointers and shows the symbol + instruction in orange
• Detects pointer loops and stops with → [loop detected] in gray

32-bit vs 64-bit

• In 64-bit mode: values displayed as 19-character hex (e.g., 0x00007fffffffe000)
• In 32-bit mode: values displayed as 11-character hex (e.g., 0xffffdfe0)
• Pointer size affects dereference reads (4 vs 8 bytes per step)
