Xcode 2.2 shipped with gcc 4.0.1, so I hope that's a typo above.
I hope that's a typo because my gcc with "gcc --version" prints
powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.0 (GCC) 4.0.0 (Apple Computer, inc,
build
5026)
And Xcode:
Version 2.2 (Seed)
Xcode IDE: 622.0
Xcode Core: 622.0
ToolSupport: 610.0
1. Is there any option to activate symbol-stripping besides dead-
code
stripping in the build settings, besides adding -Wl,-s to "Other
Linker
Flags"?
Deployment Postprocessing will do this for you. There may be other
options which do it, too.
That did the trick! :-)
[I noticed that "Deployment Postprocessing" still gives larger files
than "-Wl,-s", compare the sizes
strip (-Wl,-s)
1,518,745 bytes
strip ("Deployment Postprocessing")
1,635,689 bytes]
That's it, about 100 kB larger. Am I stripping to much with -Wl,-s or
can I safely use it in a deployment product instead of "Deployment
Postprocessing"?
The most efficient in my case seems to be the symbol strip. There
are
about 80 kB extra if I both dead-strip and symbol-strip.
Symbol stripping with strip is different from symbol stripping at
link
time. In particular, the linker has additional information about the
layout of your executable that strip doesn't have, so it can strip
slightly more.
I was just curious how this could be, since I supposed dead-code
elimination + stripping would produce even lesser code than just DCE.
But appereantly this is not the case?
Thanks for the help!
