How to convert c source code to assembly language code?


Covert c program to assembly language program
Compiler uses -S option to generate assembly language code for the given c source code.

Below is the c source code(program.c).

  #include <stdio.h>
  int main() {
        int a, b, c;
        a = 20, b = 30;
        c = a + b;
        printf("Sum of two numbers is %d\n", c);
        return 0;
  }

C source code can be converted to assembly code using the following command.

  jp@jp-VirtualBox:~/$ gcc -S program.c
  jp@jp-VirtualBox:~/$ ls
  program.c  program.s

Below is the assembly code for the above given c source code.

        .file   "program.c"
        .section        .rodata
  .LC0:
        .string "Sum of two numbers is %d\n"
        .text
  .globl main
        .type   main, @function
  main:
        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp
        andl    $-16, %esp
        subl    $32, %esp
        movl    $20, 28(%esp)
        movl    $30, 24(%esp)
        movl    24(%esp), %eax
        movl    28(%esp), %edx
        leal    (%edx,%eax), %eax
        movl    %eax, 20(%esp)
        movl    $.LC0, %eax
        movl    20(%esp), %edx
        movl    %edx, 4(%esp)
        movl    %eax, (%esp)
        call    printf
        movl    $0, %eax
        leave
        ret
        .size   main, .-main
        .ident  "GCC: (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5.1) 4.4.5"
        .section        .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits

Let us compile the assembly code to get the executable "program".  And this executable can be used to get the output of the given c program.

  jp@jp-VirtualBox:~/$ gcc -o program program.s
  jp@jp-VirtualBox:~/$ ls
  program  program.c  program.s
  jp@jp-VirtualBox:~/$ ./program
  Sum of two numbers is 50

Difference between asterisk and ampersand operators in c

Address Operator (& - Ampersand): Returns address of the given variable.  Consider the following example, int *ptr, var = 10; ptr = &var; ptr = &var sets the address of the variable var to pointer ptr.  & is also called as reference operator. Let us try to understand the purpose of reference operator using the following example program.   #include <stdio.h>   int main() {         int var = 10, *ptr;         /* assigning address of variable var to pointer ptr */         ptr = &var;         /* printing the address of the variable var */         printf("Address of var is 0x%x\n", &var);         /* printing the value of pointer ptr */         printf("Value of ptr is 0x%x\n", ptr);         return 0;   }   Output:   jp@jp-VirtualBox:~/$ ./a.out   Address of var is 0xbfdf202c   Value of ptr is 0xbfdf202c Indirection Operator('*' - asterisk): The dereference operator is an unary operator which returns the value of

kbhit in c

kbhit in c: kbhit function is used to determine if a key has been pressed or not. To use kbhit function in your program you should include the header file "conio.h". If a key has been pressed then it returns a non zero value otherwise returns zero. Declaration : int kbhit(); C programming code for kbhit #include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> main() {    while (!kbhit())       printf("You haven't pressed a key.\n");    return 0; } As long as in the above program user doesn't presses a key kbhit() return zero and (!0) i.e. 1 the condition in while loop is true and "You haven't pressed a key." will be printed again and again. As a key is pressed from the keyboard the condition in while loop become false as now kbhit() will return a non-zero value and ( !(non-zero) = 0), so the control will come out of the while loop.
