generating mips assembly from c code with gcc?


hi
I'm wondering if gcc can spits out the assembly code for mips, given a c or c++ code to compile. If gcc can not generates it , is there a way to compile a c code to mips assembly code?

I know my gcc can generates assembly code given a c code but I don't know for what arch.

I'm running linux machine with pentium processor

Thank you

cc -S hello.c
cat hello.s

That spits out x86 assembly. Might want to google that one, maybe you can find a compiler which will compile for the MIPS architecture, I haven't tried to do that before.

native mips gcc compiler on mips machine will works? i don't know. just guess.
But it will not work, cross gcc compiler on x86.

Some possibility..

cross gcc compiler on x86 ?

What does this mean? gcc will compile my c code to mips, instead of x86 assembly(since i use p4) that i'm using ?
That is an interesting idea. Assuming that gcc will generate mips assembly instead of the x86 code, then my machine won't recognize the code , gcc generates right?

Thank you
