Howdy all! This is not a libtool question per se, but more of a general library question.
When building a static library I notice that it's size seems to vary a lot from platform to platform. On my linux box it's about 1MB, on a Sun it's 3MB. (Building with completely different tools, one set GNU, the other, Sun.) Is this expected? Does it matter? A recent support request for our library notes that with a recent version, the size of the static library increased dramatically. But he says this is not affecting performance. In general, the size of a static library should only matter at link time anyway, since the needed functions are copied into the program executable, right? Whereas with a shared library, the size of the library might be important, because the library is loaded at run-time, and larger files will be harder to keep in buffers than small files, as I understand it. My question is: when it comes to libraries, does size matter? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
