Hi Frank,
There are two options you can use with gcc to get the processor output as
part of the kernel compilation process.
-save-temps
-save-temps=<arg>
1 - Open the top level Makefile in your favorite text editor.
2 - Search for KBUILD_CFLAGS
My Makefile which is at /home/aruna/linux-5.4.2/Makefile shows me at
line 458
KBUILD_CFLAGS := -Wall -Wundef -Werror=strict-prototypes
-Wno-trigraphs
3 - Now plugin -save-temps=<arg> but replace <arg> with obj like shown
below:
KBUILD_CFLAGS := -Wall -save-temps=obj -Wundef
-Werror=strict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs
4 - Save the Makefile.
5 - Run make and we are done !
Each directory will have the preprocessor output in *.i and *.s files.
Good luck - Aruna ( I keep asking myself 'why' are you doing this though ?
:)
