help: decrease library size :help

majun

I find use 'strip' command can decrease the size of execuatable binary ELF file by 10 times. or, a 10 mb file is decreased to 1 mb. Because the useful informations are removed, e.g. debug, symbol etc.
So, I wonder whether there is a tool to decrease the size of the lib files (*.so.* kind of files). Because I guess libary files also contain useless informations. Anyone has this knowledge, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

共享库最好不要strip，可能会产生问题。

but, the size is key problem for embedded applications. and, the "strip" doesn't delete vital part of the code.  I think it is safe.

你 strip --strip-debug 不行么？

majun

不行.
I use 'file' command to check the lib file. it shows the following information.
"libh323_linux_x86_r.so.1.12.0: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped"
It seems the file has already been stripped after compilation. But, I want to know whether the file can be decreased more space or not.

为了保证系统的稳定

这种操作还是不做为好

因为现在空间都很大
没有必要节省那么一点空间

库里面需要符号表，如果你把符号表都搞掉了，库也就挂了。
