2012-09-04build system: stop .eh_frame generationDenys Vlasenko
From Rich Felker: By default, modern GCC generates DWARF2 debug/unwind tables in the .eh_frame section of the object files/binaries. This adds significant bloat (as much as 15%) to the size of the busybox binary, including the portion mapped/loaded into memory at runtime (possibly a big issue for NOMMU targets), and the section is not strippable with the strip command due to being part of the loaded program text. I've since done some further checking - both testing and asking the GCC developers about it - and it seems the solution is to add to the CFLAGS -fno-unwind-tables and -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables. If debugging is disabled, this will prevent GCC from outputting DWARF2 tables entirely. But since busybox builds with -g by default, the interesting case is what happens then. I originally thought these options would break debugging, but they don't; instead, they tell GCC to output the DWARF2 tables in the .debug_frame section instead of the newish .eh_frame section (used for exception handling). With these options added, busybox_unstripped is still fully debuggable, and the final busybox binary loses the 15% bloat factor from the DWARF2 tables.

2012-08-04disable format security warningsMike Frysinger
We pass strings to printf directly a lot. Some distros enable some flags in their gcc by default like -Wformat-security. With these two things, we end up with a lot of build warnings like so: loginutils/chpasswd.c:42:3: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Wformat-security] But we don't care. Our focus is first and foremost on size, so adding a lot of dummy calls like: - printf(some_constant_string); + printf("%s", some_constant_string); is pointless bloat. Disable this warning flag if the compiler supports it. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>

2011-05-02Compile options: default to -O2 when -Os is not availableWolfgang Denk
Recent versions of GCC for PowerPC systems suffer from some compiler bugs which prevent the use of "--enable-target-optspace" in their configuration, which makes the compiler option "-Os" unavailable; for reference see http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43810 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48278 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45053 In the result, BusyBox will be compiled without any optimization options, which causes a huge binary (1.8 MiB for default configuration on PPC, built with gcc 54.51 from the Yocto / Poky / OpenEmbedded tool chains). This commit changes behaviour so "-O2" gets used as fallback when "-Os" is not available. This reduces the image size in above test to 1.3 MiB. This is still 10...15% more then what we get with "-Os", but much better than using no optimization at all.

This is the result after converting mtd-utils' flash_eraseall to BB. The functionality given by this patch almost the same except that this one does not support long options. I needed this tool a system which does not have a lot of flash for RFS and merging this into BB as the only way out.
