14:17 <FromGitter> <vector1dev:vector1.dev> Hi!

14:20 <mps> anyone have idea why the new ameba 1.4.0 binary is much bigger than previous release 1.3.1?

14:20 <mps> 1.3.1 is about 2.8M while 1.4.0 is about 8M

14:21 <mps> M - Megabytes

14:21 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> maybe was built with debugging symbols instead of stripping them

14:21 <mps> it is stripped in both cases

14:22 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> did you get the binary from somewhere, or build it yourself?

14:22 <mps> here is MR I created and some comments for alpine https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/43889

14:22 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> could be a diff in LLVM version too

14:23 <mps> crystal 1.7.2 is built with LLVM 14 in both cases

14:24 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> dunno yea

14:24 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> kinda strange

14:24 <mps> only what I noticed are some new features added, maybe this increase binary

14:25 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> hard to say w/o diving into the diff and thats a pita

14:25 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> of the IR that is

14:26 <mps> is the ameba author maybe here

15:34 <FromGitter> <veelenga> > *<mps>* anyone have idea why the new ameba 1.4.0 binary is much bigger than previous release 1.3.1? ⏎ ⏎ maybe because we embedded formatter https://github.com/crystal-ameba/ameba/pull/326. However, it was measured and the increase was 77 KiB (see the comments)

15:41 <mps> veelenga>: not much I understand. formatter added this increase in size?

15:44 <FromGitter> <veelenga> yes, I need to test, but in my understanding, it could be. Basically Ameba binary now requires part of crystal's formatter and it is quite big. ⏎ ⏎ However, you can reduce the binary size if you build with `--release` flag: ⏎ ⏎ ```code paste, see link``` [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=63e120426fc5ff38e44e82bc]

15:44 <mps> yes, we build ameba with '--release' for long

15:52 <mps> ah, found it, have to add 'make CRFLAGS="--release" install PREFIX="$pkgdir/usr"' in package() build function

17:41 <FromGitter> <ober> and also strip(1)

18:02 <mps> ober: alpine build system automatically do strip if it is not explicitly disabled

18:03 <FromGitter> <ober> gotcha. not like libmusl is fat

18:05 <mps> yes, binaries built with musl are not so big but anyway striping debug symbols make them smaller, which is good to have smaller usage of disk

18:05 <mps> at the end alpine moto is 'simple, small, secure' ;)

18:06 <mps> or trying to be at least
