Your experimental result clearly shows that it is *not* equivalent. > In this case, since foo() does > not reference anything -- the rest should be thrown away. As I explained, the rest can't be thrown away because it is *referenced* (but not from foo()). > There is another suggestion -- maybe referencing something from static > library (*.a) brings in all static variables (and their dependencies), It doesn't. It is trivial to construct an experiment that proves this. Cheers, -- In order to understand recursion you must first understand recursion.
