Since the linker 'ld' simply includes all data / code available in all object files given on the command line without any check regarding what parts of them are being used, it's not rare that there are items that will never be used left in the final executable. Therefore, I wonder if anybody knows of some utility that can be used to remove this kind of unused objects (unreferenced data / code) from the COFF-file generated by the linker? If not, is there somebody busy writing this kind of utility? Any help at all will be much appreciated; Thanks in advance! //HSe <hs AT sbbs DOT se>
