Hi all
Iam using arm-linux-gcc cross compiler with
simplescalar configured for arm processor in my
project.
my test program is test.c which is
int main
{
return 0;
}
and i compiled it as
arm-linux-gcc -o test.arm test.c
The size of the test.arm file is 949567 bytes. when i
execute the test.arm file in simplescalar as
"sim-outorder test.arm", its statistics shows that the
number of instructions in the test.arm file is 19747.
"sim: ** simulation statistics **
sim_num_insn 19747 # total number of instructions
committed"
I would like to know the following
1. why is the code bloating happening here???
2. The problem may be that the arm-linux-gcc loads all
its libraries in the output binary file. so is there
any option to compile a program with arm cross
compiler without loading all the libraries???
3. I downloaded all the cross compiler components from
http://www.simplescalar.com/v4test.html
"simplescalar arm cross compiler kit"..
so is there any better version or compiler kit
available for arm??
I would really appreciate any help in this regard.
regards
kripashankar
