Hey FlierMate,
Every once in a while, and lately more often than most(isn't this the 2nd post this last month), someone comes along with this notion that they need to produce a rather small binary.
In the current age where hardware minimums are in the 4GB for RAM and half a TERA for HDDs, I really don't understand this chasing of the windmills.
The only place where this should be brought up is in embedded environments, where you have very limited RAM/ROM/EPROM.
But even there, with the advent of the Arduino(AVR SoC) and the Raspberry Pie(ARM SoC) those limitations are getting smaller every iteration.
So, FlierMate, could you please explain to me this urgent quest to make the binary small? Please?
I profoundly thank you, in advance, for any light shed into this predicament.
Cheers,
Gus
