I think executable does not contain code for function which are not called from program flow, but if u create some library then that will contain all those functions.
So #ifdef/#ifndef will help reducing library size. On 2/15/07, Sanil P S <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, Will the executable / binary contain code for all the functions in a source file even if they are not called from anywhere in the program flow? ie; will it help reducing the memory size the executable uses, if I exlude some unused functions using #ifdef/#ifndef . Note that all these functions we consider are in the same .c source file.
