digitalmars.D - /FA-like switch for dmd? ("generate assembly listing")

Hello,

I was wondering, are there plans for a switch similar to /FA in cl.exe so we 
could look at the assembly generated? If D source would also be included in 
the asm comments, that would be even more awesome.

I know I'm daydreaming but...

This is of course not the answer you want, but gdc, being based on gcc, has the -S switch to generate asm files instead of object files. - Gregor Richards

obj2asm is used to generate the assembler listings. http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/obj2asm.html

I guess it should also be mentioned that you can only get obj2asm as part of a $15 tools package. http://www.digitalmars.com/eup.html

I got my obj2asm from the dmd.zip ;) -- Mike Wey

That's the linux version of obj2asm. The windows version is in the tools package.

Interestingly, these utilities can be found in update package for C/C++ compiler(say dm812util.zip), it's free! http://ftp.digitalmars.com/Digital_Mars_C++/Patch/

Those CD updates are really only for people who bought the CD. Digital Mars has been offering free updates to paying customers for a long time because I don't like people developing libraries for DMC to have to test against multiple old compilers - they can just test against the latest. I don't like CD purchasers to have to suffer with bugs that are already fixed.
