I noticed today that my xo (newly 703) has cpp which while modest in size seems to launch /usr/libexec/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/cc1 which weighs in at 5.1Meg
Anybody know what this is used for? would either TCC or mcpp be up to the same task? This work http://www.gnome.org/~lcolitti/gnome-startup/analysis/ mentions that cpp is used by xrdb. If it's a similar case on the XO then an improvement in boot time and space could be had. My line of thinking is that if it's going to go to the trouble of being half installed maybe the rest of might as well be there. If not, can it be eliminated. pros and cons in either direction really. If not gcc then tcc is certainly worth a look, 100k for a c compiler is fairly good bang for your byte. http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/tcc/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
