info registers command

Displays the contents of general-purpose processor registers

Syntax

info registers
info registers [Register name]

Parameters

Register name
If specified, the info registers command will show the contents of a given register only. If omitted, the command will show the contents of all general-purpose CPU registers.

Remarks

Note that the info registers does not display the contents of the vector and FPU registers. To view them use the info all-registers and info vector commands.

Examples

Below is a basic output of the info registers command:

Starting program: /home/bazis/test

Common errors

If you run the info registers command without starting your program, you will get the The program has no registers now message:

(gdb) info registers
The program has no registers now.

To resolve it, run your program using the run or start command or attach to a running program using the attach command.

Compatibility with VisualGDB

You can execute the info registers command under VisualGDB using the GDB Session window in Visual Studio. However it is recommended to use the Debug->Windows->Registers window instead (right-click in it to enable register groups).
