how to generate .s(assembly) file when compiling code ?

[huzhongshan]

I added -S in other options , but no response.
I found it generate .s in a tempory directory , but after compile , it disapseared.
I write inline assembly code ,but there is some error in it , I want to find the .s file to see where the bugs.
How can I get the .s file in ide.

I knew I could get it using command line gcc -S ... .....
but in IDE , how ?

You can place it in "Compiler settings -> Other options".
The assembly code will be in the *.o-files in this case (because C::B uses the -o-option), and it will be done for all processed files.

Or you can change the build-command for your file in the files properties (tab "advanced"):
check "Use custom command ..." and add

Code: [Select]

$compiler $options $includes -S -c $file
$compiler $options $includes -c $file -o $object.
The example is for c++-files.
I double the command, so the file will be processed twice, one-time only the assembly is generated, the second time I do the normal processing, otherwise your build will be broken due to missing object-file or because an old object-file is taken (if it exists).

you have to pass the "enable listings" options to the assembler
http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/a.html#a


do this with the compiler-option "-Wa,"

e.g.
if you want to pass enable listing options "-alhds" to the assembler
you have to use the compiler-option "-Wa,-alhds"



you get the listing in the compiler-build-log, just enable "Save build log" in global compiler settings.

Add option "-save-temps".

Hi there
Just needed the knowhow for generating assembly code from C.
So I was trying to follow jens method but in mine case the "check" option is disabled as shown in attached picture !!
So how to proceed next?

Iam using codeblocks-ep

[jens]

Is your file part of a project ?
If not, this will not work, because would not be able to store the information (it is stored in the project-file).

Hi there Jens
Thanks for your help !!

Well mine file is a stand alone file "G2.C". I dint created it inside any project.
I created the file G2.C like this : File-->New-->Files-->c/C++ source

Then as suggested by you I created the project G3 like: File-->new-->Project-->console application and then proceeded ahead to create C project.
Once G3 project was created I included the file G2.C into this project.
Now sure enough  "check" option is now enabled as you said (shown in G2_asm2.jpg)

Jens also I found the other way
Settings-->Compiler and  Debugger-->Other settings --> advanced option (shown in G2_asm1.jpg)
and then included the lines which you mentined in post 2.
...and voila after compiling I got G2.S file

And this is what mine first assembly file contains

Code: [Select]

.file "G2.c"
.text
.def _printf; .scl 3; .type 32; .endef
_printf:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp, %ebp
pushl %ebx
subl $36, %esp
leal 12(%ebp), %eax
movl %eax, -12(%ebp)
movl -12(%ebp), %eax
movl %eax, 4(%esp)
movl 8(%ebp), %eax
movl %eax, (%esp)
call ___mingw_vprintf
movl %eax, %ebx
movl %ebx, %eax
addl $36, %esp
popl %ebx
popl %ebp
ret
.def ___main; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef
.section .rdata,"dr"
LC0:
.ascii "\12\12Hi there\12\12\0"
.text
.globl _main
.def _main; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef
_main:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp, %ebp
andl $-16, %esp
subl $16, %esp
call ___main
movl $LC0, (%esp)
call _printf
leave
ret
.def ___mingw_vprintf; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef

That's what I posted here:

You can place it in "Compiler settings -> Other options".

[...]
I double the command, so the file will be processed twice, one-time only the assembly is generated, the second time I do the normal processing, otherwise your build will be broken due to missing object-file or because an old object-file is taken (if it exists).

But as stated it is done for every file in the project, and that can slow down the build process for larger projects.
