But we have users who complains about big executables built with gcc-2.95.X. With gcc-3.0 unstripped executables will be larger For example for following trivial program -------------------------------- #include int main(void) { std::cout << "Hello\n"; } -------------------------------- after 'gpp -O2 hello.cc -o hello.exe' I'm getting the size of executable (with gcc-3.0) size 1182238 bytes, after stripping it - 257536 bytes and after compressing it with UPX 1.20 (option --best): 91068 bytes Andris
