I previously saw code growt especially on ARM thumb1 code, but seems to be on track again with newer releases, at least when running CsiBE benchmark. gcc-4.6.4 1868 bytes (0) gcc-4.7.4 1844 bytes (-1.3%) gcc-4.8.5 1832 bytes (-1.9%) gcc-4.9.3 1824 bytes (-2.4%) gcc-5.3.0 1832 bytes (-1.9%) gcc-6.3.0 1856 bytes (-0.6%) gcc-7.1.0 1856 bytes (-0.6%) gcc-8-master 1872 bytes (+0.2%) arm-none-eabi-gcc -c -Os -std=gnu89 -mcpu=cortex-m3 -mthumb snake.c See my CSibe benchmark data at http://gcc.hederstierna.com/csibe/ currently only for ARM but my plan was to add more targets after time, but project halted due now to no time unfortunately.
