这个26KB可执行文件中存储了什么?

Lyi*_*Sky 15 c++ windows gcc visual-c++

使用以下代码编译此代码-O3:

#include <iostream>
int main(){std::cout<<"Hello World"<<std::endl;}
Run Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)

导致文件长度为25,890字节.(由GCC 4.8.1编制)

编译器是否只能存储两个调用write(STDOUT_FILENO, ???, strlen(???));,存储write内容,存储字符串,并将它写入磁盘?它应该导致EXE的长度低于1,024我估计的字节数.

在汇编结果中编译hello world程序以17字节为单位:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/284797/hello-world-in-less-than-17-bytes,表示实际代码长度为5个字节.(字符串是Hello World\0)

除了实际main和它调用的功能外,EXE还存储了什么?

注意:此问题也适用于MSVC.


编辑:
许多用户指出iostream是罪魁祸首,所以我测试了这个假设并用相同的参数编译了这个程序:

int main( ) {
}

得到23,815字节后,这个假设被驳斥了.

编译器默认生成完整的符合PE的可执行文件.假设发布版本,您发布的简单代码可能包括:

  • 加载器所需的所有PE头和表(例如IAT),这也意味着必须满足对齐要求
  • CRT库初始化代码
  • 调试信息(即使是发布版本,您也需要手动删除它们)

如果编译器是MSVC,则会有其他内容:

您发布的链接确实包含一个非常小的程序集"hello world"程序,但是为了在Windows环境中正常运行,至少需要为加载程序提供完整且有效的PE结构(将所有低级问题放在一边)这可能导致代码根本不运行.

假设加载器已经并且正确地"设置"了运行该代码的过程,只有在那时你可以将它映射到PE部分并且做

jmp small_hello_world_entry_point
Run Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)

实际执行代码.

参考文献:PE格式

最后一点通知:UPX和类似的压缩工具也用于减少可执行文件的文件大小.

  • @MarcoA.我认为MSVC部件也可以为其他人提供帮助,他们也可以申请GCC.(你可以标记这些并在答案的最后解释它们可能只适用于MSVC) (3认同)

C++ isn't assembly, like C it comes with a lot of infrastructure. In addition to the overheads of C - required to be compatible with the C abi - C++ also has its own variants of many things, and it also has to have all the tear-up and -down code required to provide the many guarantees of the language.

Much of these are provided by libraries, but some of it has to be in the executable itself so that a failure to load shared libraries could be handled.

Under Linux/BSD we can reverse engineer an executable with objdump -dsl. I took the following code:

int main() {}
Run Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)

and compiled it with:

g++ -Wall -O3 -g0 test.cpp -o test.exe
Run Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)

The resulting executable?

6922 bytes
Run Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)

Then I compiled with less cruft:

g++ -Wall -O3 -g0 test.cpp -o test.exe -nostdlib
/usr/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0000000000400150

Basically: main is a facade entry point for our C++ code, the program really starts at _start.

Executable size?

Here's how objdump describes the two:

g++ -Wall -O3 -g0 test.cpp -o test.exe
objdump -test.exe

test.exe:     file format elf64-x86-64

值得注意的是,这个可执行文件不起作用,它是段错误的:为了使它工作,我们实际上必须实现_start而不是main.

我们在这里可以看到,大部分较大的可执行文件是粘合代码,用于处理加载动态库和准备标准库所需的更广泛的环境.

Even our smaller code still has to include exception handling, ctor/dtor support for globals, and so forth. It could probably elide such things and if you dig deeply enough you can probably find ways to elide them, but in general you probably don't need to, and it is probably easier to always include such basic support than to have the majority of new programmers stumbling over "how do I force the compiler to emit basic language support" than have a handful of new embedded programmers asking "how can I prevent the compiler emitting basic language support?".

Note also that the compiler generates ELF format binaries, this is a small contribution (maybe ~60bytes), plus emitting it's own identity added some size. But the bulk of the smaller binary is language support (EH and CTOR/DTOR).

Compiling with #include <iostream> and -O3 -g0 produces a 7625 byte binary, if I compile that with -O0 -g3 it produces a 64Kb binary most of which is text describing symbols from the STL.
