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

if you are using gcc as a compiler, you can compile with the -S option to produce assembly code. see http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq8_20.html
