It just occured to me that I left my favorite example of binary sizes
off the list. Here it is again, but this time with the V7 bourne shell
included too:
thoreau:~ 244> size ksh93-alpha v7sh-alpha /bin/*sh
text data bss dec hex filename
1198476 47696 48316 1294488 13c098 ksh93-alpha
41300 5384 2800 49484 c14c v7sh-alpha
533316 25328 39868 598512 921f0 /bin/csh
601388 25232 26492 653112 9f738 /bin/ksh
641004 31248 23636 695888 a9e50 /bin/sh
763068 45048 1256156 2064272 1f7f90 /bin/tcsh
On i386, it's under 22kB of code and about 2.5kB of data! Now, can
we have no more talk about code bloat please? :-)
Simon.
