Re: [Tinycc-devel] What is size overhead of compiled code?

[Philippe Ribet]

Looks like my last mail failed.

Question was:
What I was wondering, I am interested in knowing how much bigger
the generated code is. I realise that all the optimisations are not
there.
Can anyone come up with a ballpark estimate, in percentage?

Test with gcc 2.95.4 on a large code. Executable size in bytes
tcc: 2128340
gcc -O0: 2210099
gcc -O1: 1699847
gcc -O2: 1692071
gcc -O3: 2931009

After strip:
tcc: 2128212
gcc -O0: 1837488
gcc -O1: 1327304
gcc -O2: 1319528
gcc -O3: 2558664

                         The README file said
              "Requires Windows 95, NT 4.0, or better."
                    So... I installed it on Linux!
