hangs upon execution about evmdis

[Macil]

Yeah I'm having the same behavior too. http://blog.curvegrid.com/daysofblock/2017/05/11/daysofblock-01-evmdis.html makes it look like you are in fact supposed to pass the input through stdin, but my results match up with you rather than that blog post.

@nolash, you need to pipe the hex into evmdis, it won't take a file as a parameter. So your cat <binfile> | evmdis -log is the right idea. I suspect what's happening with the short output is your <binfile> has a newline on the end, which causes that output.

Compare the following. evmdis-issue-6-orig-crlf.hex has a newline on the end and evmdis-issue-6-orig.hex doesn't, otherwise they are identical. I copied the compiled Solidity hex code you pasted verbatim:

$ cat evmdis-issue-6-orig-crlf.hex | evmdis -log

# Stack: []
0x0	STOP()

Hope that helps!

And obviously a future enhancement opportunity to improve the help text (evmdis -h), README and overall handling of newlines.

@agentme could you check my previous comment and see if that helps?

Yep, it was the newline at the end! Works great when I cut that out, thanks!
