2.3 GNU binutils工具
在分析GCC代码时，尤其是后端代码生成的过程中，经常需要对编译生成的目标文件进行分析，包括编译生成的汇编代码、目标文件等，此时，如果能够熟练使用GNU binutils工具链中的工具，无疑将对分析非常有用。GNU binutils工具的源代码及介绍参见GNU的官网：http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/，其中主要工具如表2-1所示。
例如，对于如下的源代码：
[GCC@localhost test]$ cat test.c
int main(){
int i=0, sum=0;
sum = sum + i;
return sum;
}可以使用objdump进行目标代码的反汇编：
[GCC@localhost test]$ gcc -c -o test.o test.c
[GCC@localhost test]$ objdump -d test.o
test.o: file format elf32-i386
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <main>:
0: 55 push %ebp
1: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
3: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp
6: c7 45 f8 00 00 00 00 movl $0x0,-0x8(%ebp)
d: c7 45 fc 00 00 00 00 movl $0x0,-0x4(%ebp)
14: 8b 45 f8 mov -0x8(%ebp),%eax
17: 01 45 fc add %eax,-0x4(%ebp)
1a: 8b 45 fc mov -0x4(%ebp),%eax
1d: c9 leave
1e: c3 ret 可以使用nm查看目标文件中的符号信息：
[GCC@localhost test]$ nm test.o
00000000 T main
也可以使用readelf工具查看目标文件的ELF信息。
[GCC@localhost test]$ readelf -a test.o
