I am running the Arduino 18 software on Mac OS X, and I don't see any way to get the object code. I even tried editing Library/Arduino/preferences.txt to change
preproc.save_build_files=false
to
preproc.save_build_files=true
That did not produce any new files that I could see when I compiled. Even if it did, the Arduino 18 download does not contain any of the utilities described for looking at the output. Do I have to get the Arduino source code and build the whole thing from scratch to get the utility files?
Normally C would be fine for me, but I was doing some timing of interrupt routines, and found that accessing a memory location was taking 15 cycles, while the hardware datasheet indicates that it should be taking 2 cycles. I want to know what code the compiler is generating (I'll replace it with asm code if it is too ridiculous).
