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. |
