Fw: Does ld removes uncalled functions from final exe ?

Hi Valery,

> I wrote simple test program to discover wheter ld removes unreachable code.

The linker does not do this by default.  To achieve the affect you want 
compile your code with the -ffunction-sections switch specified and then 
link with the -gc-sections switch.  eg like this:

   gcc -ffunction-sections -c test.c testfx.c
   gcc -Wl,-gc-sections test.o testfx.o

Cheers
