At the risk of stating the obvious, localizing the size change should be a simple matter of `readelf -WS`. If we're seeing actual change in .text size by way of per-directory sort-of-LTO, then that would be interesting (and could be localized further with the symbol table). --Jed _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
