I want to correct a false statement I made in my previous post. I wrote: > So in execution, a.out wastes an average of 6K of padding, while > ELF has an average of 2K. I realized later that this is not true. ELF double-maps the page containing the boundary between text and data. That wastes a page (4K), making ELF's memory usage in execution the same on average as that of a.out. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
