Easy way to convert c code to x86 assembly?

Question

Is there an easy way (like a free program) that can covert c/c++ code to x86 assembly?

I know that any c compiler does something very similar and that I can just compile

Answer 1

The lcc compiler is a multiplatform cross-compiler. You can get it to produce Intel syntax assembly code by

lcc -S -Wf-target=x86/win32 foo.c

I find assembly code from lcc significantly easier to read than what gcc spits out nowawadays.
