    Put a marker in c code and see it in assembly

    Hey,
    I would like to know if there is a way to put somekind of a marker in c code and get the same marker in assembly when generated.
    I want to use it in order to mark the beginning and ending of some instructions and see their corresponding generated assembly code.
    I use gcc to compile.

    Thanks

    Sure
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    int main ( ) {
      int i;
      asm("nop");
      for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ ) {
        printf("Yes\n");
      }
      asm("nop");
      return 0;
    }
    Looks like
    Code:
    #APP
    # 4 "bar.c" 1
    	nop
    # 0 "" 2
    #NO_APP
    	movl	$0, -4(%rbp)
    	jmp	.L2
    .L3:
    	movl	$.LC0, %edi
    	call	puts
    	addl	$1, -4(%rbp)
    .L2:
    	cmpl	$9, -4(%rbp)
    	jle	.L3
    #APP
    # 8 "bar.c" 1
    	nop
    # 0 "" 2
    #NO_APP
    Just look for the #APP/#NO_APP
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
