ARM Thumb disassembler library

[wumpus]

For a tool I am making I need to disassemble Thumb instructions, I'm currently using IDA but I need something I can link into my own program.
Does anyone have a link to a (preferably open source) library or program that can do just that?

Download source code of binutils from http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/
and there is a target for ARM (it can assemble and dissamble ARM/Thumb instructions). You must find it in source code and use it. I have used this way an ARM emulator from GNU GCC and there was no problem to use it.

Yup, Gnu GDB armulator was already on my list of things to try out, if I only knew enough anout the Nokia hardware to make a phone simulator :-)

Does that binutils ARM (dis)assembler have the same braindead syntax as the gas 80x86 assembler? I mean, that the arguments on MOV instructions are reversed.
MOV <source>,<destination> instead of MOV <destination>,<source>

That's confusing at least.

For ARM it looks like this:
200040: e3a01602 mov r1, #2097152 ; 0x200000
200044: e5910000 ldr r0, [r1]
200048: e0201860 eor r1, r0, r0, ror #16
20004c: e3c118ff bic r1, r1, #16711680 ; 0xff0000
200050: e1a00460 mov r0, r0, ror #8
200054: e0200421 eor r0, r0, r1, lsr #8
200058: e3a01701 mov r1, #262144 ; 0x40000
20005c: e5810000 str r0, [r1]
200060: e10f2000 mrs r2, CPSR
And for Thumb:
2000f4: 481f ldr r0, [pc, #124] (0x200174)
2000f6: 4920 ldr r1, [pc, #128] (0x200178 )
2000f8: 1a09 sub r1, r1, r0
2000fa: 2200 mov r2, #0
2000fc: 2300 mov r3, #0
2000fe: 2400 mov r4, #0
200100: 2500 mov r5, #0
200102: 2600 mov r6, #0
200104: 2700 mov r7, #0
200106: e007 b 0x200118

Wow, then it's exactly what I need - thanks

you also can use the GBA-emu source...
its "somewhat" smaller ;))
its a gameboy advance emulator which has the same cpu
it also allows to disassemble the code (ARM/THUMB)
