I want to know how to translate/convert C program to Assembly language?

any advice will be great.

...will create foobar.s

I need more basics...

for example like this C program

#include <stdio.h>

int main( void )
{
int months = 12;
int years;
int days;
int i;
int nr1 = 8;
int nr2 = 10;
int nr3 = 15;


years = 7;
printf( "years 1 = %d\n", years );


days = months * 30;
printf( " days 1 = %d\n", days );

i = years * months;
printf( "i 1 = %d\n", i );

i = years % 12;
printf( "i 2 = %d\n", i );

i = nr1 + 4 + nr2 * i / nr3 * 3;
printf( " i 3 = %d\n\n", i );

printf( "\nStarting FOR loop:\n" );

for( i = -33; i < 75; i+= 4 )
{
printf( "i = %d\n", i + 3 );
}

return 0;
}

How do I convert that to Assembly lanuage? and is there a good learning site?

Thanks.

should help I think. They have links to documentation and assembly source code.

Umm, bulliver just told you. If that code is saved in a file foo.c, simply do:
$ gcc -S foo.c
It will create a file foo.s (lowercase s on my system) which contains the corresponding
assembler code. View it in your favorite text editor.

I know, but that code is way beyond what I am learning right now.

I need to know how it changed from that C code to Assembler code, if I just get the code I won't be learning anything. It would be good if I could get some examples of codes that has been changed from c to assembler.

browneyes - the gcc solution given will help you churn out plenty of examples of C code converted into assembly, but I suspect it won't help you too much with learning.

My advice would be to focus on learning an assembly language (preferably the one for your architecture ), some of the instructions, and how to do some of the simple things you might be used to from other languages. I have never found it too useful to learn by comparing similar programs in two languages, simply because it's not always possible to find a direct correspondence. Some things that are very simple in C are complicated in assembly, while some things that are very simple in assembly are more complicated in C. Being a lower-level language, there are some things you can do in assembly that you can't do at all in C (though don't ask me to name any of them!)

I think you'll find that once you get a good grasp of the basics, you'll be able to see the correspondences on your own, and (even better) begin to utilize the strengths of assembly itself, rather than seeing it as merely a translated C.

browneyes,
If you want to learn assembly, I dont recommend using 'GCC -S' to do so. If you need a tutorial,
I recommend Dr Carter's assembly book @ http://www.drpaulcarter.com/pcasm/ .
It teaches assembly using intel syntax, which is easiest to learn with IMHO. You are going to need
more than source code to learn assembly.

Thank you.

There's one thing that may make it simplier. Compile with optimalization. Without the code is muuuch longer and more complicated.
gcc -O2 -S foo.c

This command converts the "foo.c" to "foo.s" in GAS of course
gcc -O2 -S foo.c

What about NASM? It means converting to "foo.asm" ?

I need it immediately. Please reply
