I think you can run nm on libgcj.so and look at all the _Utf* symbols.
I got:
fleche. nm .libs/libgcj.so|grep _Utf|wc -l
66488
I assume this is without duplicate removal. The _UtfNN symbols are
local symbols; I'm not sure how to count unique symbols.
If we take this number as accurate, we're taking about a saving
of around 227kB. That's substantial.
If you're considering touching every place that uses a Utf8Const, how
about going one step further and write some C++ classes to abstract
out the representation from the uses?
Yes, that makes sense.
