I'm new to g++ and I have a question. Why are my g++ executable files
so HUGE. I'm on a sun 4/280 running g++1.35. It produces
reasonably sized .o files, but for a simple 1 or 2 hundred line program
my executables are around 250K. Yes, i am using a lot of libraries
like stdio, math, and stream, but this is rediculous. Similar code in
cc form sun prodeces executables less that 1/4 the size.
Any suggestions about linking? What about dynamic object libraries?
Where can I learn about them? Are they my problem?
Please help me. I may be ignorant, but I'm the expert around here
and the sys-admin is not convinced that these huge files are not just
standard overhead.
