I have just compiled the "Hello World" using GCC (Linux).
The resulted ELF (binary executable) is 3062 bytes (striped). I believe
this includes some startup code and exit code (crt*.o) and, also symbol
and/or relocation tables
If I link the program statically, the size increases to 215396 bytes (!).
There is quite a bunch of libraries there!
The following is rather technical, skip it if you want .
The assembler output of the compiler is:
.file "hello.c"
.version "01.01"
gcc2_compiled.:
.section .rodata
.LC0:
.string "\nHello World!\n"
.text
.align 4
.globl main
.type main,@function
main:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp,%ebp
pushl $.LC0
call printf
leave
ret
.Lfe1:
.size main,.Lfe1-main
.ident "GCC: (GNU) egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2
release)"
