#8405: experiment with using function-sections for linking (for smaller libs and executables) -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: carter | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie): Awesome. How about the size of the .a files? With `-split-objs`, `.a` files tend to get a factor of 2 to 2.5x larger. This is one of the reasons why a ghc installation is as large as it is (~900Mb for me). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8405#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
