Disassemble it and find all the registers referenced in the binary machine code.

how about gdb ? (and 'info registers' of course)
- if you want the contents of the registers, you'll have to use gdb (the gnu debugger) , and after running your program (for a hitherto uncertain time) ,
use the 'info registers' command to examine the registers' contents ;

- exactly at which point in time the register snapshot will have to be taken,
only you (the author) can tell ;

good luck, and success !
