This is object-in-2.0 in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 10-Feb-1991 21:56:39 From: madler@pooh.caltech.edu (Mark Adler) Subject: -object in 2.0 I have found a very nice cc option (not in the cc(1) man page it seems) that actually makes small programs small. If you use -object when linking with cc (or compiling and linking), and then strip the resulting executable, you end up with sizes that make sense for the complexity of the source (after subtracting some overhead). For example: cat - > empty.c main(){} ^D cc -object empty.c strip a.out gives an a.out of 1140 bytes, instead of the usual 16384 after stripping. Mark Adler madler@pooh.caltech.edu
