Swapping, what's that? Here's $20, go buy a gigabyte.
expect memory to become a problem again with the advent of multicore
and people wanting to run more than one gcc at a time.
I do have swapping on a 1 GB machine with 2 CPUs(-> 2 GCCs)
Memory bloat is a problem for embedded systems. Attitudes about just
"buy
another gigabyte" is why i use C for everything for speed, portability,
compactness, and conciseness of design.
But you are not compiling on the embedded machine :).
That is the point of Mike Stump, nothing else.
