------- Comment #12 from jhopper at safe-mail dot net 2009-07-30 04:34 ------- one more note about executable size in memory: while there was no difference in sizes in memory for all gcc versions for icc versions there was a great difference:
VERSION VIRT RSS gcc (all) ~2000kb 500kb icc10 (all) ~5500kb 800kb but that should be obvious due to the additional linking in icc to libimf.so, libintlc.so.5, libsvml.so, libgcc_s.so.1, libpthread.so.0 and libdl.so.2 that can possibly be countered to make a more fair memory usage comparison between icc and gcc by modification to my icc.cfg configuration files, which were when compiling this program: http://manoa.flnet.org/icc10.cfg http://manoa.flnet.org/icc11.cfg -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35671
