<h2><a name="2_5">2.4 This library is HUGE! And what's libsupc++?</a></h2>
<p>Usually the size of libraries on disk isn't noticeable. When a
link editor (or simply &quot;linker&quot;) pulls things from a
static archive library, only the necessary object files are copied
into your executable, not the entire library. Unfortunately, even
if you only need a single function or variable from an object file,
the entire object file is extracted. (There's nothing unique to C++
or libstdc++-v3 about this; it's just common behavior, given here
for background reasons.)
</p>
<p>Some of the object files which make up libstdc++.a are rather large.
If you create a statically-linked executable with
<code> -static</code>, those large object files are suddenly part
of your executable. Historically the best way around this was to
only place a very few functions (often only a single one) in each
source/object file; then extracting a single function is the same
as extracting a single .o file. For libstdc++-v3 this is only
possible to a certain extent; the object files in question contain
template classes and template functions, pre-instantiated, and
splitting those up causes severe maintenance headaches.
</p>
<p>It's not a bug, and it's not really a problem. Nevertheless, some
people don't like it, so here are two pseudo-solutions:
</p>
<p>If the only functions from libstdc++.a which you need are language
support functions (those listed in
<a href="../18_support/howto.html">clause 18</a> of the standard,
e.g., <code>new</code> and <code>delete</code>), then try linking
against <code>libsupc++.a</code> (usually specifying
<code>-lsupc++</code> when calling g++ for the final link step will
do it). This library contains only those support routines, one per
object file. But if you are using anything from the rest of the
library, such as IOStreams or vectors, then you'll still need
pieces from <code>libstdc++.a</code>.
</p>
<p>The second method is one we hope to incorporate into the library
build process. Some platforms can place each function and variable
into its own section in a .o file. The GNU linker can then perform
garbage collection on unused sections; this reduces the situation
to only copying needed functions into the executable, as before,
but all happens automatically.
</p>
<p>Unfortunately the garbage collection in GNU ld is buggy; sections
(corresponding to functions and variables) which <em>are</em> used
are mistakenly removed, leading to horrible crashes when your
executable starts up. For the time being, this feature is not used
when building the library.

2.4 This library is HUGE! And what's libsupc++?
Usually the size of libraries on disk isn't noticeable. When a link
editor (or simply "linker") pulls things from a static archive
library, only the necessary object files are copied into your
executable, not the entire library. Unfortunately, even if you only
need a single function or variable from an object file, the entire
object file is extracted. (There's nothing unique to C++ or
libstdc++-v3 about this; it's just common behavior, given here for
background reasons.)
Some of the object files which make up libstdc++.a are rather large.
If you create a statically-linked executable with -static, those large
object files are suddenly part of your executable. Historically the
best way around this was to only place a very few functions (often
only a single one) in each source/object file; then extracting a
single function is the same as extracting a single .o file. For
libstdc++-v3 this is only possible to a certain extent; the object
files in question contain template classes and template functions,
pre-instantiated, and splitting those up causes severe maintenance
headaches.
It's not a bug, and it's not really a problem. Nevertheless, some
people don't like it, so here are two pseudo-solutions:
If the only functions from libstdc++.a which you need are language
support functions (those listed in [62]clause 18 of the standard,
e.g., new and delete), then try linking against libsupc++.a (usually
specifying -lsupc++ when calling g++ for the final link step will do
it). This library contains only those support routines, one per object
file. But if you are using anything from the rest of the library, such
as IOStreams or vectors, then you'll still need pieces from
libstdc++.a.
The second method is one we hope to incorporate into the library build
process. Some platforms can place each function and variable into its
own section in a .o file. The GNU linker can then perform garbage

copying needed functions into the executable, as before, but all

3.4 I can't use 'long long' on Solaris
By default we try to support the C99 long long type. This requires
that certain functions from your C library be present.
Up through release 3.0.2 the tests performed were too general, and
this feature was disabled when it did not need to be. The most
commonly reported platform affected was Solaris.
This has been fixed for 3.0.3 and onwards.
