I found Os to offer the best all around gcc and with C files.
I tested a large number of string type content files (not float or other numeric calculations) source files
with gcc and with clang. gcc provides a smaller executable than does clang, and Os does much better than O3
I used
CFLAGS := -Os -Wall -Wextra -Fpic -I./includes/ -march=x86-64 -Werror \
-std=gnu11 -fPIC #-Wpedantic #-c -E #--analyze
Make veryclean all strip.
Make veryclean all strip.
veryclean: rm's all objs and excutables.
all: recreates using $cc
strip: removes unnecessary meta stuff around the executables.Savings using -Os are substantial, for my tests, about 400bytes per executable.
