Is linking faster or? gcc can and does optimize static functions more. A function being static (and not having it's address taken) means that gcc is aware of all callers of this one function (unlike non-static obviously where places outside the current .c may call it). That knowledge can and is used for optimization. (and increasingly so in newer gcc's) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
