The website I pointed you at is the gcc website.

By the way, this discussion should be kept on the gcc-help list, so

I am perhaps slightly confused here. by 'assy code', do you mean assembly code?

I do not know of a way to make gcc generate mixed C source and
  assembly.

However, gcc will give C functions, labels, and globals the same
  assembler name they have in the C source, so if one knows asmmbler
  it is not too hard to follow (though not as nice as mixed might
  be.). Note that with -O2, gcc will sometimes do surprising ammounts
  of code movement, etc.

btw, you should probably not use -g when generating assembler ;
  it often makes the assembler more difficult to read.
