Measuring the size of the xpt files is no longer as relevant. Since mccr8 and I rewrote xptinfo, they're only used during the build step, and are not bundled. They're combined into a single .cpp file (xptdata.cpp) which generates shared static pages (mostly) without relocations :-).
Perhaps measuring the size of xptdata.o could be more useful? - Nika On Tue, Jun 26, 2018, 12:31 AM Nicholas Nethercote <n.netherc...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > After Firefox 57 removed support for legacy extensions, I decided to > (roughly) track how much XPIDL code we have.
