Linker Code Size Optimization for Native Mobile Applications
Abstract/s
Modern mobile applications have grown rapidly in binary size, which restricts user growth and updates for existing users. Thus, reducing the binary size is important for application developers. In this paper, we propose several novel optimization techniques that do not require significant customization to the build pipeline and reduce binary size with low build time overhead. As opposed to re-invoking the compiler during link time, we perform true linker optimization directly as optimization passes within the linker. The proposed optimizations are generic and could be incorporated into popular linkers as optimization passes.
