It will be nice have this in documentation. For example in
https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progse30.html#x195-2000007.3
At least explain:
- relation of -CX and -XX
Indeed.
- what is to be removed: non-referenced non-virtual methods, global
variables, and regular procedures/functions
Disagreed. Those are implementation details, may vary from target to
target, may depend on the assembler/linker rather than on FPC, etc. What
I wrote is just the high level idea. When you have e.g. published
properties and their RTTI, you can easily start having a lot of hidden
references.
I do not insist that it must be written in this way, but something
should be there explained.
Goal is that: reader should understand what can expect from smart-linking.
