Hi Jacek, Thanks for providing the FAQ.
I found answer 10 to be very informative. I too had noticed the 40K of baggage that the c++ compiler appends to programs. However, I didn't know that the -fno-exceptions flag could reduce this. Unfortunately, try as I might, I could not get haret (see http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HaRET) to shrink with -fno-exceptions. As a guess, it looks like anything that requires libsupc++.a is going to pull in the exception code. Many basic c++ constructs (eg, vtables, new, delete) pull in that library. As a result, it looks like the effort of removing the exception code is about on par with porting the app to C. Oh well. -Kevin On Thu, Nov 29, 2007 at 10:34:00PM +0100, Jacek M.
