Hi, I am not sure if this is the right place to discuss this, but I am seeing massive code bloat with g++ 2.95.2 The unstripped exe is 3x larger. flags " -O3" unstripped -- 185K same exe after stripping -- 57K The code is the oopack benchmark program available at http://www.kai.com/oopack/oopack.html thanks, -neelakanth
