I used a library which also needed -lstdc++. Now that I did not need them any more I removed them and was surprised that the resulting FreeBSD binary actually got bigger!

Is there any logical explanation for this phaenomen? ticso@cicely8> cc -O -pipe -g -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wno-uninitialized -Werror -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -o cbckd *.o -lm -lstdc++ ticso@cicely8> ls -al cbckd -rwxr-xr-x 1 ticso 1000 204628 Aug 3 14:02 cbckd ticso@cicely8> strip cbckd ticso@cicely8> ls -al cbckd -rwxr-xr-x 1 ticso 1000 41300 Aug 3 14:02 cbckd ticso@cicely8> cc -O -pipe -g -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wno-uninitialized -Werror -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -o cbckd *.o -lm ticso@cicely8> ls -al cbckd -rwxr-xr-x 1 ticso 1000 228832 Aug 3 14:02 cbckd ticso@cicely8> strip cbckd ticso@cicely8> ls -al cbckd -rwxr-xr-x 1 ticso 1000 59636 Aug 3 14:02 cbckd -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
