title: How to check code generated by C++ compiler?
body: <p>just like in topic - is there any software to open (what?) and here I don't even know what to open - file with object code or exe?
  My today's questions (if only todays ;)) may seem bit odd but I'm going through excersises in "The C++ Programming Language" by B.S. and sometimes I'm just stuck on particular question. I'm sometimes bit irritated by style of this book (excellent in many aspects) that he (B.S.) asks some questions which you won't find answer in his book on how to do it or even where to start.
  Like this one for example:</p>
  
  <p>Run some tests to see if  your compiler really generates equivalent code for iteration  using pointers and iteration using indexing. If different degrees of   opimization can be requested, see if and how that affects the quality of the generated   code.</p>
  
  <p>Thats from chapter 5 question 8. Up to this point nowhere in this book is even mentioning testing and analyzing code generated by compiler.
  Anyway, if someone could help me with this I'll be greatful.
  Thank you.</p>
