- Why are fortran executable binaries so large compared to similar code
- produced by other languages?
-
- Is space for variables being reserved in the data segment (like initialized
- variables in assembly language)? (i.e. my binary is very large even if
- my code is quite short and simple but I have a large array.)
-
- If this is the answer, is there a way to prevent it (I don't have a f77
- manual handy)?
-
- Thanks.
