No, because: 1. You can figure out things about the assembly even without understanding assembly (e.g. lines of source translating into 0 lines of output vs many lines of output). 2. You have labels. 3. You can figure out some of the assembly on your own. Say: `mov %r1 %r2` - it probably moves what's in entity %r1 into a similar entity %r2, or vice-versa. etc. 4. You can see what the executable outputs 5. and most importantly: You can read compiler warnings and errors...
