Still quite minimal results. But unless I'm misremembering, it
seems that the size of the application itself has grown a lot. An
empty form with a button now results in an application of 1.8MB
(Carbon/i386). I thought it was closer to 1.1MB the last time that
I tried this (October last year).
Maybe it was less in size because it did not contain application
icon? Icon is rather big resource.
Removing the icon removes only about 100KB. Also, why is it included
in the program binary itself? At least on Mac OS X the system never
looks there for an icon, afaik.
Here's where the size comes from (with smart linking and stripping,
no debug information):
__TEXT __DATA __OBJC others total
1171456 655360 0 44932 1871748
Maybe for you as compiler developer this numbers are meanful but it
is not so for me. How can we interprete them?
__TEXT = code
__DATA = data
(others = various kinds of required information for the program loader
and dynamic linker)
