Hi Mayuresh,

No and yes.  No there is not a debugger that is specifically targeted at 
assembly language programs.  But debuggers like GDB already have good 
support for displaying and stepping through assembly, so this should not 
be a problem.

The assembler does however have the ability to generate DWARF debug 
information describing the assembler source that it is processing, so 
that an external debugger (eg gdb) can then provide a better experience 
to the user.  The option that does this is -gdwarf-2.

Cheers
