Saving more than 1MB when installed


From: Stefan Monnier
Subject: Saving more than 1MB when installed

User-agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.1.50 (gnu/linux)

Try the patch below.  In my tests, adding the pre-loaded elc files in
DOC results in a much larger DOC file (2.4MB vs 650KB), but doesn't save
us anything in the `emacs' executable (neither pure space, nor live heap
or executable size).

I propose we get rid of this "optimization", which is brittle anyway (it
relies on lib-src/make-docfile finding all the docstrings and matching
defvar/defuns in the .elc file, which can be pretty difficult).

Any objection?
