 +Another very useful tool is //ss...-objdump//. It allows you to inspect binary files such as object files and executables. You can use it for example to find our which virtual address a function or a variable has been mapped.
 +
 +Try this command:
 +
 +''/usr/local/ss/v3/bin/sslittle-na-sstrix-objdump  --syms hello > hello.syms''
 +
 +Look in //hello.syms// to find all the symbols that are defined. You should be able to find _main in there, the address where your main function has been compiled to.
