Indeed. GCC is definitely the best compiler in the world.

You don't even have to type out fullly accurate code to convert it. I simple copied and pasted his code into vim, saved it as gcd.c, then used -S to pre-process/convert to assembly. It's really nice, and fast!

Either way, it helps a lot to convert some C code to Assembly if you're trying to learn Assembly, or already know the basics, but want to see how a compiler does it. You eventually grow much respect for compiler coders, especially those of GCC. You can even compile Java to Assembly if you wish!

Again... GCC is the lord almighty. It is sad that DJGPP isn't as good as pure GCC, so Windows is such a crippling system for coders. :/ Unless you're doing those graphical applications in Visual Studio... then you're stuck with MS' compiler. Oh welll...

And sorry if I sound somewhat matter-of-fact-ly; I'm absolutely decaffeinated and sober. That should explain enough.
