overhead in the archive
Hi everyone,
I am currently trying to work out the size overhead in the library archive. The total size of all my objects file is about 100KB. However, when I package them into the archive (libXX.a), the size gets boosted up to 200KB. I want to know what exact is that 100KB overhead. I tried with the "objdump". The only thing extra I can find is the comment field under each object file. They are only about 7KB in total. Is there a way to browse the full content of the library? or if anyone knows what exact this overhead is? Cheers CrabJ |

How are you creating your static library? Using ar and ranlib? If this is the case do a web search for "ar file format".
