Comparison of Assembly across five architectures

I've been cobbling together a little collection of architectures as part of my journey to learn how to write a compiler.

  • x86_64:
    • Linux buster 4.19.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.67-2 (2019-08-28) x86_64 GNU/Linux
  • i586:

This blog post contains gcc's assembly output for a series of simple C programs.

I've also included LLVM IR output from clang.
