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

Well it is not a bad idea. I have worked for one place that did that. It wasn't my idea but I did not object. The reason it is done is to put critical files like nsswitch.conf, hosts, and so on under RCS control. Previous versions are then available to see how stuff changed over the years. ... (0 Replies)

SIZE(1) GNU Development Tools SIZE(1)
NAME
size - list section sizes and total size.
SYNOPSIS
size [-A|-B|--format=compatibility]
[--help]
[-d|-o|-x|--radix=number]
[-t|--totals]
[--target=bfdname] [-V|--version]
[objfile...]
DESCRIPTION
The GNU size utility lists the section sizes---and the total size---for each of the object or archive files objfile in its argument list.
By default, one line of output is generated for each object file or each module in an archive.
objfile... are the object files to be examined. If none are specified, the file "a.out" will be used.
OPTIONS
The command line options have the following meanings:
-A
-B
--format=compatibility
Using one of these options, you can choose whether the output from GNU size resembles output from System V size (using -A, or --for-
mat=sysv), or Berkeley size (using -B, or --format=berkeley). The default is the one-line format similar to Berkeley's.
Here is an example of the Berkeley (default) format of output from size:
$ size --format=Berkeley ranlib size
text data bss dec hex filename
294880 81920 11592 388392 5ed28 ranlib
294880 81920 11888 388688 5ee50 size
This is the same data, but displayed closer to System V conventions:
$ size --format=SysV ranlib size
ranlib :
section size addr
.text 294880 8192
.data 81920 303104
.bss 11592 385024
Total 388392
size :
section size addr
.text 294880 8192
.data 81920 303104
.bss 11888 385024
Total 388688
--help
Show a summary of acceptable arguments and options.
-d
-o
-x
--radix=number
Using one of these options, you can control whether the size of each section is given in decimal (-d, or --radix=10); octal (-o, or
--radix=8); or hexadecimal (-x, or --radix=16). In --radix=number, only the three values (8, 10, 16) are supported. The total size is
always given in two radices; decimal and hexadecimal for -d or -x output, or octal and hexadecimal if you're using -o.
-t
--totals
Show totals of all objects listed (Berkeley format listing mode only).
--target=bfdname
Specify that the object-code format for objfile is bfdname. This option may not be necessary; size can automatically recognize many
formats.
-V
--version
Display the version number of size.
