-
- A persual of the literature tends to suggest that the code expansion
- is usually on the order of 20%-40%. I recall no surveys showing even
- as much as 2x.
-
- The large size of f77 executables is largely due to some suboptimal
- decisions made in constructing the plethoria of libraries which are
- linked in most applications.
-
- However progress does occur. Consider
-
- print*,"hello world"

- f77v1.4.1 on SunOS 4.1.1
-
- text data bss dec hex
- 155648 16384 0 172032 2a000

-
- f77 2.0.1 on 4.1.1 modest improvement
- text data bss dec hex
- 106496 32768 0 139264 22000
-
-
-
- f77 2.0.1 on solaris 2.0 somewhat more substantial
-
- 52350 + 3552 + 2208 = 58110
-
-
- To answer the inevitable questions: f77 2.0.1 has not FCS'ed yet; it
- is in beta.
