Re: Large writable variables

BTW, I looked around for .o files with large BSS numbers, and came across

$ size src/interfaces/ecpg/ecpglib/prepare.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   4023       4 1048576 1052603  100fbb src/interfaces/ecpg/ecpglib/prepare.o

That megabyte is from a statically allocated statement cache array.
Seems a bit unfriendly to users of ecpglib, given that many apps
would never use the statement cache (AFAICT you have to explicitly
ask for auto-prepare mode to get to that code).

Doesn't look hard to fix though.
