一. Go VS C 二进制

二. 如何减小 go 二进制文件大小

2.1. -ldflags
2.2. UPX

参考

环境：

$ go version
go version go1.11.2 linux/amd64

$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.10) 5.4.0 20160609

一. Go VS C 二进制

hello.go

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	fmt.Println("hello world")
}

hello.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("hello world\n");
    return 0;
}

$ go build -o hello hello.go
$ go build -ldflags "-s -w" -o hello2 hello.go
$ gcc hello.c

$ ls -l
-rwxrwxr-x 1 zengxl zengxl 1902849 11月 27 15:40 hello
-rwxrwxr-x 1 zengxl zengxl 1353824 11月 27 15:43 hello2
-rwxrwxr-x 1 zengxl zengxl 8600    11月 27 15:44 a.out

golang 连接的参数：

$ go tool link -h

usage: link [options] main.o
-s	disable symbol table      # 去掉符号表
-w	disable DWARF generation  # 去掉调试信息

ELF

先来看下 C 的：

$ readelf -h a.out

$ readelf -d hello

There is no dynamic section in this file.

The linker in the gc toolchain creates statically-linked binaries by default. All Go binaries therefore include the Go runtime, along with the run-time type information necessary to support dynamic type checks, reflection, and even panic-time stack traces.

A simple C “hello, world” program compiled and linked statically using gcc on Linux is around 750 kB, including an implementation of printf. An equivalent Go program using fmt.Printf weighs a couple of megabytes, but that includes more powerful run-time support and type and debugging information.

所以，为什么 go 二进制比 C 大很多就比较明显了。

golang 静态编译，不依赖动态库。

二. 如何减小 go 二进制文件大小

2.1. -ldflags

上面已经提到了过了。

$ go build -ldflags "-s -w" xxx.go

2.2. UPX

https://github.com/upx/upx

Commands:
  -1     compress faster                   -9    compress better
  -d     decompress                        -l    list compressed file
  -t     test compressed file              -V    display version number
  -h     give more help                    -L    display software license
Options:
  -q     be quiet                          -v    be verbose
  -oFILE write output to 'FILE'
  -f     force compression of suspicious files
  -k     keep backup files
file..   executables to (de)compress

Compression tuning options:
  --brute             try all available compression methods & filters [slow]
  --ultra-brute       try even more compression variants [very slow]
