Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|--- |WONTFIX Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED --- Comment #1 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- _Decimal128 and _Decimal64 are all software based so there are functions which implement everything. The main thing which is actually taking up the space is the functions for the conversions. The functions for the conversions are all stored in one .o file: .text 0x00000000004005d0 0x10567 /home/apinski/upstream-gcc/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/11.0.0/libgcc.a(bid_binarydecimal.o) 0x00000000004005d0 __bid32_to_binary32 0x0000000000400bf0 __bid64_to_binary32 0x0000000000401460 __bid128_to_binary32 0x0000000000401f10 __bid32_to_binary64 0x0000000000402460 __bid64_to_binary64 0x0000000000402b60 __bid128_to_binary64 0x0000000000403680 __bid32_to_binary80 0x0000000000403e30 __bid64_to_binary80 0x0000000000404870 __bid128_to_binary80 0x0000000000405640 __bid32_to_binary128 0x0000000000405c10 __bid64_to_binary128 0x0000000000406430 __bid128_to_binary128 0x0000000000406fc0 __binary32_to_bid32 0x0000000000407650 __binary64_to_bid32 0x0000000000408100 __binary80_to_bid32 0x0000000000408be0 __binary128_to_bid32 0x0000000000409990 __binary32_to_bid64 0x0000000000409fb0 __binary64_to_bid64 0x000000000040a730 __binary80_to_bid64 0x000000000040b280 __binary128_to_bid64 0x000000000040c040 __binary32_to_bid128 0x000000000040cfa0 __binary64_to_bid128 0x000000000040e160 __binary80_to_bid128 0x000000000040f330 __binary128_to_bid128 Since most of the time when using _Decimal128/_Decimal64, you will be using many of these files, it won't change the size overall to have these functions in different .o file.
