Re: GNAT Executables: How low can you go?

"The complete application which also produces debug information about
the regular expression and which dumps the complete statusmachine in
human-readable format is only 11616 bytes in size!!! I really didn't
know GNAT executables could be this small and I even used string
slices, exception handlers, discriminated records containing
variable-sized arrays and text-io on integers, booleans and enumeration
types. There was no 'dead' code in the source and all generated code
and message strings are in the 11616 byte executable."

I of course like to see positive posts about GNAT like this, but surely
that figure of 11,616 is wrong, I could believe 116K, but 12K must
be wrong, especially if you are using statically linked libraries.
Text_IO alone is larger than this.

Can you double check your numbers ....
