Layout of compiled objects

c, c++, gcc, visual-c++

Solution

For Visual C++:

I finally managed to dig up the (well-hidden!) undocumented compiler flags that MSVC++ supports using information from here and here. Here they are:

/d1reportSingleClassLayoutXXX
/d1reportAllClassLayout

(replace `XXX` with the class name)

Problem

Is there a way—much like viewing the result of preprocessing with `gcc -E`—to see what my objects look like once compiled into object files? I am talking about GCC, but a solution including MSVC would be fine.
