- Subject: linking application with a library
Hi all,
I am using h8300-hitachi-hms-gcc cross-complier for building my application.
I have a lib mylib.a (20 kb) which I want to link with my application.
My application gets 20 kb bigger as soon as I link it with mylib.a
without any function being called from mylib.a.
It seems to me that I have built mylib.a so that the whole lib is linked
during linking process even if no one method is being called.
Now my question is which flag should I use to build mylib.a so that only
those functions are linked which are being called.
If no function is called then linking mylib.a shouldn't affect the size
of my application.
Thanks for help.
regards
/Mohammad
