First: thanks to Joakim and yourself for all the recent replies.
unnecessary symbols are not stripped.
I think that`s the most essential part of why "Hello world" came
out so big for me.
LDC has the --gc-sections flag, enabled by default. This will
significantly reduce the since of the binary.
Thanks to both you and Joakim for that.
Do you guys — or anybody else — know what the situation is with
GDC? Does it strip out unneeded sections/symbols/both, or is it
just dumping everything into the executable like DMD-on-Mac-OS-X
seems to do?
