On my system:
% ls -hs st-0.3/st
126K st
% strip st-0.3/st && ls -hs st-0.3/st
48K
% ls -hs scm/st/st
178K
% strip scm/st/st && ls -hs scm/st/st
91K st
But I found out what’s causing the 50k(!) increase. It’s the big key[]
array. Simply remove it and you get back the old 48k size. So the ques‐
tion is, if this array could be optimized out. The escape codes only
partially have a system that could be replaced with ranges.
On my system:
% ls -hs /usr/bin/xterm /usr/bin/urxvt
1.3M /usr/bin/urxvt 452K /usr/bin/xterm
That array gives st a better escape key support than any other terminal,
but it bloats it with seldom used features and is now more than 50% of
its size. That’s hard to decide. :/
What are the list's opinions?
