Re: Shared Libraries on HP-UX (-shared)

I've asked the same question to the group before and have gotten no useful response. Using 'c4gl -shared' for some reason made executables a tad bit larger (???) in my tests, but even 100k smaller is not much advantage. If 4gl functions could be put in a library, this could save megabytes in some cases not to speak of savings in compilation time. malc_p@hotmail.com wrote: > > This one's a cracker. > > We currently use 'c4gl -shared' when linking our compiled 4gl .o files, > finding that the executable size is at least 100k smaller, often more.
