Acknowledgments
Thanks are due to a number of people who helped me out as this edition took shape, in various ways. First, thanks to Jim Minatel and Pete Gaughan of Wiley, who got the project underway and made sure it went to completion. Also thanks to David Stafford, who acted as technical editor and provided a constant stream of invaluable advice.
The event shocked me to the core, but antony-jr of GitHub managed to create a working Linux appimage of the quirky and ancient but very accessible Insight debugger, which was pulled from Linux repositories soon after the third edition of this book hit print in 2009. A very big thanks to him for what was likely a very peculiar project. You can find his Insight appimage here: https://appimage.github.io/Insight.
Abundant thanks also to Dmitriy Manushin, who created SASM, a free assembly language IDE targeted at beginners: https://dman95.github.io/SASM/english.html.
When I ran into a weirdness in glibc, my wizard crew on Contrapositive Diary helped me figure it out:
- Jim Strickland
- Bill Buhler
- Jason Bucata
- Jonathan O'Neal
- Bruce and Keith (last names not given, and that's OK—the advice was golden)
Finally, and as always, a toast to Carol for her support and sacramental friendship that have enlivened me now for 54 years and enabled me to take on difficult projects like this and see them through to the end, no matter how nuts they made me along the way!
