Hi Darryl,
I found code size of stripped executables compiled with gcc 4.3 to be quite reasonable - especially at high optimisation levels, although still about twice the size (the docs state) VC9 achieves. I'm assuming that the large sizes mentioned are simply due to the generated files not being stripped.
Correct. Stripping will greatly improve the executable size, eventhough it'll still be more than what VC produces.
I was unable to compile the euml example - I haven't investigated the errors yet.
g++4.3 should manage this. Please contact me if you need any assistance.
Its not a priority for me for now. I'm sure it isn't a fundamental issue.
8 states doesn't seem like a huge number to me. How many transitions are we talking about? I'm not so sure that it can't be done, especially as you're using g++ 4.3 which is the best compiler with Msm. I managed to compile 100 transitions in about 40s (while running in a VM). I'm pretty sure the compiler can manage more.
Ok - I'll persist with this and see how it goes.
Seriously, I'd be happy to work with you on this one. It'd be quite fun and I'm pretty confident it can be done if I'm right about my assumption on the number of transitions.
I've probably been too hasty. I'll keep going and see what happens. I really hope it works out. Regards Darryl.
