This isn't necessarily related to your problem, but you should be including iostream instead of iostream.h. iostream.h is deprecated (not part of ANSI C++) and will likely not be supported at some point in the future. As for your problem, you might look into the -functsect argument to GCC and -combreloc argument to ld. I think both of these have the potential of reducing your executable's size by removing duplicate function definitions, etc. Cheers, Lyle -----Original Message----- From: gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tom marin I am including iostream.h into many of my C++ modules. Apparently the object files generated are quite large because of the Templates in iosteam.h. I am using the C++ compiler g++ version 3.3. Is there anyway around this problem of code bloat when using existing Templates provided with the compiler. Thanks in advance. - Tom
