<p>If you have a particular line of C code in mind to examine in the machine output, how would you locate it in objdump output.  Here is an example</p>

<pre><code>if (cond)
   foo;
   bar();
</code></pre>

<p>and I want to see if bar was inlined as I'd like.
Or would you use some alternative tool instead of objdump?</p>

You can start objdump using the
```
-S
```
option (like
```
"objdump -Sd a.out"
```
). It will display the sourcecode intermixxed with the assembler code, if the source-files the code was compiled from are available.
Alternatively, you can use the following way:
```
```
int main(void) {
    int a = 0;
    asm("#");
    return a;
}
```
```
becomes
```
```
.file   "a.c"
        .text
.globl main
        .type   main, @function
main:
        leal    4(%esp), %ecx
        andl    $-16, %esp
        pushl   -4(%ecx)
        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp
        pushl   %ecx
        subl    $16, %esp
        movl    $0, -8(%ebp)
#APP
# 3 "a.c" 1
        #
# 0 "" 2
#NO_APP
        movl    -8(%ebp), %eax
        addl    $16, %esp
        popl    %ecx
        popl    %ebp
        leal    -4(%ecx), %esp
        ret
        .size   main, .-main
        .ident  "GCC: (GNU) 4.3.2"
        .section        .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits
```
```
