lost object files- recompiling give different binary size!!

linux_bp

I had deleted my object files accidently. Now to analyse a core i need
object files. If I recompile the same source code with imake on
solaris, i m getting the binary of different size. Is it because of
different compilation date and time?

Are you sure the source has not been modified in any way, or the libraries
you link against have not changed or that you have specified different
optimisation levels?

Or any of the tools have been updated.

If everything is exactly the same, you should get the same file size,
although there may actually be trivial differences in the binary (the
compiler may put the date/time in the executable).

If you are getting a different executable size, something has changed.
Maybe a compile switch has changed (different optimization), maybe a header
or source file has changed, or something. Unfortunately, I can't tell you
what.

That is why a lot of shops will put together everything used to make a build
and archive it so they can get the same executable to go back to a version.

avoiding object files

by: Alexander Stippler | last post by:

Hello, I have written a little library which consists of template functions and classes (99%) and two non-template classes. I'd appreciate very much if I could use the library by only including some header files without having to deal with building and linking a library or object files. Are there any tricks how this can be achieved? I guess not, but perhaps you know better. Best regards,

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
