Hello,
My compiler has an opcion which says: "Strip all symbols from binary".
I dont know what is used for and the adventages and disadventages of strip symbols. Can strip all symbols be a disadventage for speed in a released exe? Is it advisable to strip symbols in a released executable?
thanks
The only real advantage is obfuscation.
The executable can be significantly smaller when stripped, which could make download / installation and even startup time faster.
Without symbols it would hinder the ability to debug the program. Other than that, there really aren't any downsides.
If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
