Code Size Optimization Techniques Questions

Cover strategies to reduce binary size in flash constrained systems and the trade offs they introduce. Topics include pruning unused code and data, link time garbage collection, careful use of inlining and templates in C plus plus, lightweight runtime libraries, linker script placement of sections, code deduplication, binary compression and decompression at boot, and profile guided decisions that trade size for performance. Explain measurement techniques for binary size, how to interpret map files, and prioritization of size reductions that yield the highest impact.
