Any way to get gcc to output ".lis"-type file?

[Tony]

I teach C classes to undergraduate students. This year we are moving our
classes to using gcc under Linux from having previously used the C compiler
on a VAX.

With the VAX C compiler, you could have the compiler generate a .lis file
which would have the source code, line numbers, and any compilation
errors/warnings from the compilation. (These would be inserted inline with
the code.) I had the students turn this code listing in. It was a very
handy way for me to verify that the program compiled without error just from
examining the hardcopy.

I've not discovered any way to have gcc generate a similar output file. Am
I overlooking something that would work?

Is there some other software tool that can be used with Linux that would
generate this type of output?

Thanks for any help.

Have a look at Praktomat, this will save you a LOT of work:
