One thing that might be useful to me if you have the time, is an assembler dump of the sources. Can gcc do that?
gcc -S a.c
And if it can, would it show the actual operations involved, or just calls to system library routines?
It provides the assembler code for the code you are compiling, which would include inlined functions, but I don't see why it would disassemble existing objects.
$ cat a.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello, World!\n");
return 0;
}
$ cat a.s
.file "a.c"
.section .rodata
.LC0:
.string "Hello, World!"
.text
.globl main
.type main, @function
main:
leal 4(%esp), %ecx
andl $-16, %esp
pushl -4(%ecx)
pushl %ebp
movl %esp, %ebp
pushl %ecx
subl $4, %esp
movl $.LC0, (%esp)
call puts
movl $0, %eax
addl $4, %esp
popl %ecx
popl %ebp
leal -4(%ecx), %esp
ret
.size main, .-main
.ident "GCC: (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2"
.section .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits
Are they inlined?
I can't try to install the dev gcc needed for Math::Int128 at this moment.
