Hi,

when compiling file.d using dmd, file begins like this:

ELF Header:
  Magic:   7f 45 4c 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
  Class:                             ELF32
  Data:                              2's complement, little endian
  Version:                           1 (current)

I think this is the reason why D programs are that big ... why aren't
binaries created?

Ehm, this seems like the pretty printed version of an ELF header (which is
stored binary btw), much like the one produced by analytical programs like
readelf. All ELF binaries (whether executables, shared libs or object
files) start like this.

I used less to view the compiled file, and obviously less passes the file
through readelf or sth. Using cat file | less, everything looks binary :-)
My mistake, sorry.

Anyway: Why are (striped) binaries at least 150 KB of size, even when doing
nothing (void main() { })?

Thanks,
Peter

Phobos is statically linked. (for instance libstdc++ is usually dynamic)

150 KB is big?

My latest stripped DMD (-O -release) generated binary had a code segment 
of 18 MB. On the other hand, binaries I write for microcontrollers is 
often smaller than 200 bytes (not using D of course). Everything is 
relative. :)

I have on my computer some anime movies of sizes 200 and 700 MB and 
more, so 150 KB seems so tiny.
