|
|
163 | I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra |
|
|
164 | bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see |
|
|
165 | that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being |
|
|
166 | compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (\s-1RSS\s0) after startup. Even |
|
|
167 | with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many |
|
|
168 | features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are |
|
|
169 | already in use in this mode. |

187 | The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian |
|
|
188 | encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else |
|
|
189 | and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those |
|
|
190 | encodings. The \s-1BSS\s0 size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++ |
|
|
191 | compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of |
|
|
192 | memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a |
|
|
193 | few megabytes of \s-1RSS\s0. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of \s-1RSS\s0 even when |
|
|
194 | not used. |
|
|
195 | .Sp |
|
|
196 | Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one, |
|
|
197 | a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more |
|
|
198 | memory. |
|
|
199 | .Sp |
|
|
200 | Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this |
|
|
201 | still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal |
|
|
202 | (21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra |
|
|
203 | 43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half aminute of |
|
|
204 | startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares |
|
|
205 | extremely well *g*. |

|
|
207 | .IX Item "Why , isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?" |
|
|
208 | Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had |
|
|
209 | to write it, and \*(C+ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction |
|
|
210 | of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even |
|
|
211 | shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without \*(C+. |
|
|
212 | .Sp |
|
|
213 | My personal stance on this is that \*(C+ is less portable than C, but in |
|
|
214 | the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits |
|
|
215 | are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix |
|
|
216 | domain sockets, which are all less portable than \*(C+ itself. |
|
|
217 | .Sp |
|
|
218 | Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs |
|
|
219 | in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in |
|
|
220 | \&\*(C+ that don't. \*(C+ also often comes with large libraries, but this is |
|
|
221 | not necessarily the case with \s-1GCC\s0. Here is what rxvt links against on my |
