but I don't see why it would disassemble existing objects.

It obviously wouldn't disassemble anything.

But if the 128-bit math functions were marked inline, their implementation would show up.

If not inlined, then the names of the routines called to perform it should be visible, and that would aid tracking down their implementation in the library sources.

    It obviously wouldn't disassemble anything.

    Then it will obviously just show the calls to system library routines.

    then the names of the routines called to perform it should be visible

    Confirmed by the demonstration I posted.

      Unless they are inlined. Full circle.

        The question was if one just sees the call or if one also sees the operations. If there is a call, then the function is not inlined, and your qualification is useless. If there is a call, one would need to disassemble the library to see the operations. Yes, this is obvious, but you asked.
