So, why would #GCC's cc1 need to be 25 MB in #debian (and that's without debugging symbols -- with is closer to 150MB) ? C's not that big of a language...is most of that optimization code or something?
#compilers

Documentation??? I haven't checked it out.
@lucifargundam No, it's literally just a binary. What raised my eyebrow is the ~150 MB for the cpp-11jpackage. I'm like "for the preprocessor? It just handles macros and defines--wth?" So, I'm also confused why it's even in this package. cc1 handles pre-processed code into assembly, but it's in the cpp package which is supposed to be just the preprocessor, I thought.

@lucifargundam thanks for looking 😄
yeah, I noticed there are different sizes for different architectures. May be that the debug symbols are only stripped for some, but they still include cc1 -- sizes are about right for that.
