If applet doesn't use much of global data, converting it to use

one of above methods is not worth the resulting code obfuscation.

If you have less than ~300 bytes of global data - don't bother.

gcc's data alignment problem
|
||||
|
||||
The following attribute added in vi.c:
|
||||
|
||||
static int tabstop;
|
||||
static struct termios term_orig __attribute__ ((aligned (4)));
|
||||
static struct termios term_vi __attribute__ ((aligned (4)));
|
||||
|
||||
reduced bss size by 32 bytes, because gcc sometimes aligns structures to
|
||||
ridiculously large values. asm output diff for above example:
|
||||
|
||||
tabstop:
|
||||
.zero 4
|
||||
.section .bss.term_orig,"aw",@nobits
|
||||
- .align 32
|
||||
+ .align 4
|
||||
.type term_orig, @object
|
||||
.size term_orig, 60
|
||||
term_orig:
|
||||
.zero 60
|
||||
.section .bss.term_vi,"aw",@nobits
|
||||
- .align 32
|
||||
+ .align 4
|
||||
.type term_vi, @object
|
||||
.size term_vi, 60
|
||||
|
||||
gcc doesn't seem to have options for altering this behaviour.
