Some things that will affect executable size include:
1) Over zealous use of inlining (I dont see a command option to
control how much inlining is done)
There is almost none in the rtl.
Doesn't the compiler attempt to inline small functions/methods
automatically as part of its optimisation (even if the inline directive
is not specified)?
The only way to get better smartlinking is to build an integrated linker
in the compiler. That way we can control everything.
Or have more static stuff. It should be possible for the compiler to
unbox some classes (like .Net with its boxing/unboxing optimiser) into
more static stuff.
