For quite some time (a few months at least), I noticed during the build of thunderbird (comm-central) that shows the memory reduction by elf-hack is NEGATIVE value.
For example, the following is from the compilation of latest source (refreshed in the last 72 hours or so). [...] === If you get failures below, please file a bug describing the error === and your environment (compiler and linker versions), and use === --disable-elf-hack until this is fixed. === 0x000000000000000c (INIT) 0x4020 0x0000000000000019 (INIT_ARRAY) 0x97f0 test-ctors.so: Reduced by -308 bytes test-array.so: Reduced by -220 bytes PASS PASS cd util; make libs cd freebl; make libs [...] Reduced by a NEGATIVE value seems to indicate that the size actually is increased. No? This is observed under Debian GNU/Linux 64-bit. gcc version is gcc (Debian 4.8.2-1) 4.8.2 ld version is ld --version GNU gold (GNU Binutils for Debian 2.23.90.20131017) 1.11 TIA _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
