Size isn't everything for the modest creator of SQLite (2007)

Using "gcc -Os -m32 -c sqlite3.c; size sqlite3.o" I get 443,264 bytes using the latest SQLite source on Ubuntu.

The "size" command gives a more accurate measurement of what actually ends up in a compiled and stripped binary. "ls -l" includes symbolic and linking info that gets stripped from the finished binary.

Are you the author of SQLite or did you just name your account so for other reasons?

From their comment history it seems like the GP really is SQLite's author, Richard Hipp. Cool!

May I ask you about the current state of sqlite4?

Thanks for the pointer to 'size'. I so rarely compile code these days. FWIW, on my Mac with 3100200, clang -Os -m32 is 495,508 bytes while gcc is 507,378.
