Question

I am using Visual Studio 2010 and suppose I have to write some program. Can I make it such that Visual Studio shows me this code translated into assembly language?

And if yes how do I do it? For example, I have a factorial program:

int fact(int n) {
    if (n<=1)  
        return 1;
    return n*fact(n-1);
  }

See the answers to this question:

There are several approaches:

1. You can normally see assembly code while debugging C++ in visual
   studio (and eclipse too). For this in
   Visual Studio put a breakpoint on code
   in question and when debugger hits it
   rigth click and find “Go To Assembly”
   ( or press CTRL+ALT+D )
2. Second approach is to generate assembly listings while compiling. For
   this go to project settings -> C/C++
   -> Output Files -> ASM List Location and fill in file name. Also select
   “Assembly Output” to “Assembly With
   Source Code”.
3. Compile the program and use any third-party debugger. You can use
   OllyDbg or WinDbg for this. Also you
   can use IDA (interactive
   disassembler). But this is hardcore
   way of doing it.
