I haven't measured it for IA32, but for a couple other architectures I have, and -Os generated consistently larger code than -O2. Using -O3 ballooned up to be quite a bit larger than both -Os and -O2, but if you're worried about size, -O2 usually seems to be the best choice. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! ... this must be what at it's like to be a COLLEGE visi.com GRADUATE!! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
