Not sure whether you mean the source code or the object code. I build kernel with debug symbols so the sizes are bit higher.nm will tell you the actual sizes. I think the n_gsm code is about 500 bytes or so and chunks of it inline.Not counting the crc table I assume.I forget but I think including - its a tiny tiny bit of code once inlined.
I used nm on both flavours. dynamic crc table based on polynomial and bit order --------------------------------------------------- 00000000 00000026 T crc8 00000030 000000dc T crc8_create fixed crc table with table selection based on bit order ------------------------------------------------------- 00000000 00000026 T crc8 00000030 0000002b T crc8_create 00000100 00000100 r crc8_table_lsb 00000000 00000100 r crc8_table_msb The first requires the user to provide buffer to hold the table. The difference is in the crc_create() function (maybe better named crc_populate_table() in first, and crc_select_table() in second). It is 177 bytes larger. The crc calculating function is 38 bytes. Still pretty small I would think. Gr. AvS -- Almost nobody dances sober, unless they happen to be insane. -- H.P. Lovecraft --
