Compiler Flags on Pidora

Project Description

Find a set of compiler flags that reduce the binary size and improve performance for packages built for Pidora.

Project Leader

Charley Jiang

Project Contributor(s)

TBD

Project Details

Find a set of compiler flags that creates smaller and more efficient binaries for Pidora, compared to the current compiler flags.

A set of packages will be selected for testing, to cover a range of dependencies and use cases, such as common utilities, libraries, and GUI tools.

The packages will be built in a Mock environment on an ARMv6 machine.

List of packages

  • TBD

Project Plan

Tracking

Project updates will be posted to this page and Charley's Blog

Goals by Release

Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:

0.1

  • Create a script that compiles a list of packages from source, using different combinations of compiler flags, and outputs the sizes of the compiled binaries
  • Find multiple combinations of compiler flags that create smaller binaries

0.2

  • Test the combinations found in 0.1 against a larger set of packages to ensure there is a consistent reduction in binary size
  • Test the performance of the smaller binaries and determine which set of compiler flags yields the best performace

0.3

  • Submit a patch to the rpm package recommending the new compiler flags
