Do you mean you made your own abstraction over the OS functions?
I implemented something similar to the directory_iterator and other functions from filesystem. My interface is not exactly the same since I didn't bother with the path class, and made its members free functions on strings instead.
What is the difference in size?
My executable went from 2.2 MB to 63 kB (unstripped). But then I've also removed program_options at the same time. I think that with just filesystem I went down to 300 kB or less. This definitely needs more testing and "profiling".
Have you considered runtime-link=shared?
The numbers I gave were with the standard C and C++ libraries linked dynamically.
And how is Python not portable across operating systems? :)
I cannot rely on it being installed everywhere. I can rely on being able to run an executable with no dependencies though.
