#2Nice project. Will be more useful if there is an explanation of code generated. For example, making the various assembly instructions clickable and displaying information about them. Also a tiny bit of explanation about code and data sections might be of help too :)

#4Try this on iPad. Generated assembly looks very bad in terms of layout.

#5Side by side would be a better layout like:

You don't filter out CPP macro's. I would skip that and only allow C code. Or run this thing in a proper jail because at the moment:
- doing an include #include "/dev/random" will block the thread. - including "/etc/passwd" is also possible although I don't see a direct way to turn this into password disclosure.
Seriously; even if it's a weekend project, letting people run all kinds of potentially bad code on your machine is never a good idea. Even though you don't run the binaries yourself there's so many ways to mess around with a compiler. You just don't know what's going to happen.

#7This really removes any hurdle I might have of inspecting the assembly code due to sheer laziness of opening up my Visual Studio and start debugging. Awesome work. If you add some type of interactivity to the generated assembly, it can be made more visual.

I could have made the same comment.
Good project, could be useful to me. A peace of asm documentation would be tasty.

Apple safari browser? Is it also the case with opera or Chrome on the iPad?

chroot would probably be sufficient. Barring some sort of code execution vuln in the compiler you can only load stuff off of the filesystem.
Having the actual CPP available is nice because some bits of libc are only macros.
