I don't think code size matters much for a feature like this. But if you want to compare sizes, you need to use a build where size is relevant. A huge build with GUI is where users don't care about size. The GUI adds so much that the Vim code part is smaller. When I make changes like dropping the #ifdef FEAT_AUTOCMD best compare with a small build, no GUI and stripped binary. That's where the size difference actually matters. -- A)bort, R)etry, P)lease don't bother me again /// Bram Moolenaar -- b...@moolenaar.net -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
