I tried it, but applying the option --gc-sections results in an empty executable file. Am I missed something? Without it everyting works in the known way. BTW I wanted to try what happens if those functions are virtual and the mentioned options are used. I know that using virtual functions have its cost, but I don't know its couple to the operator delete(). Of course I will avoid using them as far as it is possible, but I want to know their behavior.
