It has been +possible to add a feature or two without contributing to the cause of +software bloat, with the code segment of the libsiod shared library +remaining under 75K bytes on a prototypical comparison machine like a +VAX. Furthermore, as the richness of the C runtime library available +on most systems has improved over time, SIOD remains a useful kind of +glue to have in a software engineers toolbox. |
