[Fwd: RE: Executable size]

[Chris Croswhite <ccroswhite at get2chip dot com>]

I am currently using 3.2, but I have watched from 2.95 to 3.03, 3.1 and
then 3.2 that the executable is growing by at least 30%.  I have tried
this across all optimizations - O,O2,O3,g.  In the case of -g, the
executable is 55% larger, in the case of O3 it is 31% larger (than using
2.953).


Here:

2.953:
-g = 30560264
-O = 8889831
-O2 = 8893383
-O3 = 9009271

3.2:
-g = 63274234
-O = 11198086
-O2 = 11458534
-O3 = 11252525

The code base is mixed c/c++ but I use g++ to compile everything.  I am
making a statically linked executable.

TIA,
Chris
