I was curious, does the dead-code stripper only strip my own functions
which I do not use myself?
Cause if that is the case, how often does that really happen in
real-life? I tried to recompile one of my own projects, enabling full
debug symbols and the dead code stripper, but the resulting executable
(after running 'strip' on it) was 1.5 MB, which was exactly the same
size as before I got Xcode 1.5.
I also tried the simple C++ tool, which becomes around 353 KB, but here
that was also the size after stripping dead code, although there must
be a lot of dead code in that executable, since it only does a ;cout <<
"Hello, world!\n"+.
Any comments?
