Microslop Winblows is known for the simple "Hello World" consuming
2.5 Megabytes of space.

The GNU/Linux popular desktops are not far behind in ridiculous
bloat.

But it does not have to be this way.

Check out this "color picker" utility, a standard tool for any
versatile user:

https://github.com/Jack12816/colorpicker

It weighs in at 12 Kilobytes on my machine.

I use it all the fucking time -- and you would too if you
weren't a totally beaten and fucked distro lackey.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

On 10/4/2024 3:12 PM, Lameass Larry lied again:

> Microslop Winblows is known for the simple "Hello World" consuming
> 2.5 Megabytes of space.

Lying Larry Pietraskiewicz is well known for his simple cola posts
consuming all the truth in the air and regurgitating lies and idiocy.

So let's test his latest claim:

------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
printf("Hello world!\n");
return 0;
} ------------------------------------

That's 80 bytes.

compilers
tcc 0.9.27 Windows
tcc 0.9.27 Linux (WSL Ubuntu)
gcc 11.4.0-1 Linux (WSL Ubuntu)

compilation
$ tcc hw.c -o hw-tcc.exe
$ tcc hw.c -o hw-tcc
$ gcc hw.c -o hw-gcc

executable file sizes
hw-tcc.exe Windows 2,048 bytes
hw-tcc Linux 2,984 (1.5x larger than Windows)
hw-gcc Linux 15,960 (7.8x larger than Windows)

Ouch!

Using gcc size optimizations:
1) -Os -s -fno-ident
now 14.5KB

2) -Wl,-z,max-page-size=0x1000 -s -Wl,-z,norelro hw.c && strip -s
now 11.2KB

How embarrassing.

The GuhNoo "operating system" and GuhNoo "compiler" and GuhNoo elf
format fails again.

Feeb fails again.
