i want to convert my program language from C to Assembly Language. what should i do? i write the C program in Keil. the program in C is

#include<reg51.h>
#include<string.h>
sbit rs=P3^0;
sbit en=P3^1;
void delay(void);
void main(void)
{
unsigned char com[]={0x01,0x02,0x06,0x0E};
int i,lnth;
unsigned char name[]={"Good Day"};
rs=0;
for(i=0;i<4;i++)
{
P2=com;
en=1;
delay();
en=0;
}
rs=1;
lnth=strlen(name);
for(i=0;i<lnth;i++)
{
P2=name;
en=1;
delay();
en=0;
}
while(1);
}
void delay(void)
{
int i,j;
for(i=0;i<50;i++)
for(j=0;j<100;j++);
}


Whats the Assembly of this? How can i convert it??
 

What you want to do is a non-trivial task because you use the library functions in <string.h>. You would also need to extract these functions and put them in your code.

The easiest way to do this conversion would be to let the compiler generate the assembly code for you as a starting point. Most compilers have an assembly output file as an intermediate code before it gets passed to the assembler and linker. Use this assembly file and optimize to get down to the performance you need.

Why do you need assembly language? Usually, optimizing compilers will do a better job than most beginning assembly programmers will ever be able to do. It usually takes years of practice with assembly language before you can do a better job then the compiler. Just wondering...
