Hi all,
I'm in the process of setting up an environment for Uni Engineering
students that will reside on a memory stick. Just plug the stick into
any machine, double click on the startup file and you've got a dev
environment good to go.
This thingy I'm setting up will contain the latest gcc & llvm amongst
other things. In doing this, I've had reason to look in the mingw64/bin
dir. The sizes of executables surprised me. I have:
clang.exe
clang++.exe
clang.cl.exe
all at 37MB. A lot of the other llvm apps are also monsters. In comparison:
c++.exe
g++.exe
x86_64-w64-mingw32-c++.exe
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe
etc etc for the gcc compiler
all come in at about 1.85MB.
Have the clang apps been built with debug info "on" or is this how it's
meant to be? Has llvm been statically linked whereas gcc is using dll's ???
Also, while I have people's attention, I don't need all of these clangs
and gcc's do I? The doco the students will be using will explicitly say
"clang" and "gcc". Can I just delete the others or will this confuse the
packages manager?
Your comments greatly appreciated,
Andrew
