In OllyDbg, main disassembly view (and other disassembly views) there are angle bracket notations and a dash notation (> v – etc). What is the meaning of these notations. For example, in the screen shot below the line at 73DA has a “>” notation. The line above has a dot followed by a caron, etc.
The
^ varrows indicate the direction of a branch/jump. Notice that they only appear onJ__(jump) instructions: if the target address comes before that instruction, an up-arrow will appear; if the target address comes after that instruction, a down-arrow will appear.The
>arrow indicates that it’s a target of such instructions. For instance, take the line at010073B9. There’s a down-arrow because the jump target is010073DA, which comes after010073B9. Then, there’s a>at010073DAbecause it’s targeted by the jump.In other words, they’re just visual aids. They serve no syntactic purpose.
