Maybe; or maybe the benefit of those 30 extra libraries outweighs their cost (CPUs are faster now than in the GNOME 2 days after all), but we still shouldn't introduce more without good reasons. If there is a compelling advantage to splitting up libraries, of course, by all means do so. > And it doesn't count the dlopen'ed libraries, like for the GIO extension > points. The application potentially has an opportunity to provide feedback to the user before it loads all of those, at least. "Properly linked" hard dependencies seem likely to be a bigger issue for GUI responsiveness than dlopen'd modules and *their* dependencies, because we can't display anything (not even an empty window) until ld.so has finished thinking about the relocations for hard dependencies, and handed over control to main(). -- Simon McVittie Collabora Ltd. <http://www.collabora.com/> _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
