Hi, Yes binary size is a concern on our end as well (for instance shipping chrome on android). Looking at our own numbers we see roughly a 10% increase per year, partly due to optimisations and partly due to new features being added to the language.
You could potentially disable parts of V8 and save on binary size, typically they revolve around profiling and debugging. That might work if you have minimal release builds, where let's say you disable the profiler and the inspector (or even certain web-features like wasm). In short, there is no easy way to greatly reduce binary size without sacrificing features at the moment. cheers, Camillo On Tue, 21 Dec 2021 at 10:22, MG <martin.guil...@akylas.fr> wrote: > We have been building v8 for android since 8.3.
