[gnu.emacs] Any interest in unexec

jkh@meepmeep.pcs.com (Jordan K. Hubbard) (02/20/90)

I've written unexec_coffencap.c for Emacs 18.55 and it seems
to work quite well, if anyone's interested. We're running stock V.3
on a 68020 box and I use gcc (1.36.1)/gas/gld with coff encapsulation
since the sysV ld is braindead (though someone here did port gas 1.34
to COFF. Seems to work. Ugh), so I had a bit of trouble getting emacs
to unexec until I wrote this puppy. I'm running a gcc compiled 18.55 now
and quite happy with it. 209K smaller!

/bin/cc compiled emacs: 444324 + 367540 + 0 = 811864
    gcc compiled emacs: 311096 + 291840 + 0 = 602936

I just love gcc.

P.S. I also did a COFF encapsulated fasload() and faslink() for
AKCL, which I sent to Bill Schelter. Send him mail if you're interested.
