Question

I have this line:

g++ -I d:\boost -Os -s -o test.exe test.cpp -lshlwapi -lgdi32 -std=c++11 -ftree-vectorize -static`

and I cannot find what the -s is for , I know what the big S does but there is nothing about the small one.

And btw, where is the actual command line gcc reference, this: http://tigcc.ticalc.org/doc/comopts.html is 10 years old.

Answer 1

From man gcc:

-s Remove all symbol table and relocation information from the
executable

It’s an equivalent to strip command.
