How to get the assembly code of a C Program?

Here’s how to use GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) to get the assembly output from C code:

Step:1 Write your code

// sample.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("Hello, Assembly!\n");
    return 0;
}

Step 2: Compile with the -S Flag

clang -S -o sample.s sample.c

Step 3: Assembly output

Assembly output of the sample.c
