    <p>General list:</p> <ul> <li>Make sure that you have the compiler and linker debug options disabled</li> <li>Compile and link with all size options turned on (-Os in gcc)</li> <li>Run <code>strip</code> on the executable</li> <li>Generate a map file and check your function sizes. You can either get your linker to generate your map file (<code>-M</code> when using ld), or you can use objdump on the final executable (note that this will only work on an unstripped executable!) This won't actually fix the problem, but it will let you know of the worst offenders.</li> <li>Use <code>nm</code> to investigate the symbols that are called from each of your object files. This should help in finding who's calling functions that you don't want called.</li> </ul> <p>In the original question was a sub-question about including only relevant functions. <code>gcc</code> will include all functions within every object file that is used. To put that another way, if you have an object file that contains 10 functions, all 10 functions are included in your executable even if one 1 is actually called.</p> <p>The standard libraries (eg. libc) will split functions into many separate object files, which are then archived. The executable is then linked against the archive. By splitting into many object files the linker is able to include only the functions that are actually called. (this assumes that you're statically linking)</p> <p>There is no reason why you can't do the same trick. Of course, you could argue that if the functions aren't called the you can probably remove them yourself.</p> <p>If you're statically linking against other libraries you can run the tools listed above over them too to make sure that they're following similar rules.</p>

    1. COIf you are going to investigate symbols then you DO want to be compiling with debug options ON and not stripping the exe.

    2. COI would also suggest fiddling around with -mthumb, since thumb executables are generally smaller than arm ones.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
