Compile and link your program with the -g switch, and then both GDB and 
RHIDE will be able to show the source and assembly.  I don't know what 
do you mean by ``at once'', but if that means in the same display, then 
FSDB (part of djdev202.zip) can do that; not sure about RHIDE.

The -O2 option is the best general-purpose optimization switch.  Others 
require elaborate procedure of finding the best combination for the given 
program; see section 14.2 of the DJGPP FAQ list for more about this.

Try the FAQ before asking here, many questions are already annswered 
there.
