Whenever I'm curious about the assembler equivalent of some C code, I simply write a little test program, compile it, and take a peek at the generated code. Code will vary of course depending on the memory model used, which will cause variables to be located differently.

In any case, keep in mind that what one compiler generates might be different from another, especially with respect to endianess. It may even be different from release to release--with the last release of my IAR compiler, among other things the int and long variables changed from big endian to little endian.
