Permission to change wiki.osdev.org/Pascal_Bare_Bones

[ekowahyudin]

on current http://wiki.osdev.org/Pascal_Bare_Bones, free pascal include RTTI and debug information to binary output kernel. It's useless and the kernel going to big.

I want to make some correction to compiling method.

fpc -Aelf -n -O3 -Op3 -Si -Sc -Sg -Xd -Rintel -Tlinux kernel.pas

it's must be

Code: Select all

fpc -Aelf -n -O3 -Op3 -Si -Sc -Sg -Xd -Rintel -Tlinux kernel.pas -CX -XXs

-CX - Create a smartlinked library
-XXs - Create smart link unit and strip all symbols from executable



and

ld -Tlinker.script -o kernel.obj stub.o kernel.o multiboot.o system.o console.o

it's must be

Code: Select all

ld --gc-sections -s -Tlinker.script -o kernel.obj stub.o kernel.o multiboot.o system.o console.o

--gc-sections - Remove unused sections
-s - strip all symbols


maybe somebody help me to change it. I don't have wiki account.

we have discussed this in http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,15880.msg85788.html#msg85788

thanks

One thing that I did notice in the linked thread is that the change in options do not "fix" anything but cosmetic changes for the poster, it does however introduce a probability that existing code can break for others as it does two things:
- disable RTTI support
- remove debugging information
People might not expect that.
