I read this article about some low level underpinnings of C/C++, and the author is basically showing us through the assembly code generated by the compiler, line by line. He is using VS 2010, but I don't, I use Code::Blocks. How do I view the disassembly there? When I go to debugger, and click disassembly, it shows me a blank window...
This is the C++ (.cpp) code (the whole code) I compiled:
int main()
{
int x = 1;
int y = 2;
int z = 0;
z = x + y;
return 0;
}
The kind of disassembly that the author shows in the article is called inter-leaved disassembly
( C and disassembly interleaved ) which a few IDEs like Visual Studio support. Code Blocks does not support. But Code Blocks has a separate disassembly window like this
Select a source line. Right Click. Say Run to Cursor
. Now Debug->Debugging Windows->Disassembly
. Instead of Run to cursor you can also set break points and then do this. But somehow it wasn't going well with mine, so I am suggesting Run to Cursor
method.
Hope it helps.
