How to check/understand the output of assembly file (.s) file?.
Hi All,
I have a small doubt regarding Assembly file compilation.
I have two .s files. When I compile two .s files I am getting corresponding .o files.
But when I compare the both .o files with diff command, it is resulting that two files are differing.
How could/ what are commands we should use to understand the difference between two .o file's output.
I will put my qns like this.
I have first.s file in my project.
In my configuration file, I made some changes such that it wont effect the existing functionality of the code (I introduced few new macros). I recompiled the code. Now I have my compiled set of files before changes and compiled set of files after changes.
My requirement is these two binaries should match.
But few binaries are differing including these .s file object files.
I am trying to analyze, why these two files are differing?.
