Most compilers have a simple switch to generate assembly as the output 
rather than an object file (something like cc -S).  That's all you 
need.  Then you can take the generated assembly file and use it as a 
template or as a tool to gather insight into the compilers operation.

The biggest use I've found for that is usually to clarify what the 
compiler's documentation has to say about the calling conventions.  Or how 
to call library internal routines, although if I have to go that far there 
is usually not much point to sticking with assembler.
