- Subject: 3.2 code bloat from debug info
I've found quite a few references to increased executable size from
debug info when g++ 3.2 is used, and now that I've switched it's become
a concern of mine as well. I have typically seen 6mb executables grow
to 30mb, which just seems excessive.
I noticed in one of the notes from Jim Wilson
(http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-02/msg02001.html)
that there are plans to fix this. I haven't been able to find a bug track
entry, and was wondering how to find out what the plans are, and when
I might be able to get back to roughly 2.95.3 executable file sizes...
Thanks!
