Hi, I have an application which is compiled using gcc 3.2 on linux. The problem is that the same application compiled on Windows using MS VC.net is much smaller in size (about 1/2) than that on linux. The application uses mainly C++ code, has lots of exception handling and templates. I'm currently using the following options to compile my source files: gcc -x c++ -O2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -ffloat-store -fno-inline -Wno-multichar -fexceptions -mcpu=pentium and the following for linking: gcc -rdynamic -lm -ldl -lpthread I wish to know whether there are any gcc options that can be used to combat the excessive code bloat using gcc on linux? Why should the same code have 1/2 the size on Windows? What's the way to get the MINIMUM possible size of an application using gcc 3.2 (even if it is at the cost of some run-time performance)? Any help would be highly useful. TIA, -Gaurav
