Betreff: [SDL] [PATCH] Make static variables const
Datum: Tue, 19 May 2009 19:45:37 +0200
Hi,
this is a set of simple changes which make some of SDL's internal static
arrays constant. The purpose is to shrink the number of write-able
static bytes and thus increase the number of memory pages shared between
SDL applications.
The patch set is against trunk@4513. Each of the attached patch files is
specific to a sub-system. The set is completed by a second mail, because
of the list's 40 KiB limit.
The files readelf-r4513.txt and readelf-const-patch.txt where made by
calling 'readelf -S libSDL.so'. They show the difference in ELF sections
without and with the patch. Some numbers measured on my x86-64:
Before

0000000000008170 0000000000000000 A 0 0 32
[19] .data.rel.ro PROGBITS 00000000003045e0 001045e0

After
[13] .rodata PROGBITS 00000000000eaaa0 000eaaa0

[23] .data PROGBITS 0000000000309360 00109360
0000000000002e88 0000000000000000 WA 0 0 32
The size of the write-able data section decreased considerably. Some
entries became const-after-relocation, while most of its content went
straight into the read-only data section.
Best regards, Thomas
