Disassembly of Release Code

[LionAM]

Hello! How can I view the (optimized) Release Assembly Code in Visual C++ 6 with debug info - or at least with function names? Or how can I find a special function? I noticed that the debug code is quite inefficient - for example redundant jumps, even local variables are never kept in registers, the this-pointer is moved to an register in nearly every code-line, sometimes several times, and so on... Is the release code better? It speeds up the execution (of my Raytracer) a little bit, but not as much as I hoped. Alex

I think you should go to Project --> Settings --> C/C++ --> Category: Listing Files --> Listing file type and select Assembly with Source Code. In this case the compiler will generate ASM files and you can investigate them. I hope it helps.
