Hi Lewis,

Can it be that you did not do a "make clean" when you changed the optimization level?

I am speculating a bit now:

These two functions, epicsSingleton<localHostName>::reference::~reference(void) and epicsSingleton<localHostName>::reference::operator->(void) both contain 'assert' (see src/libCom/cxxTemplates/epicsSingleton.h).

'assert' is a macro:
#   define assert(exp) ((exp) ? (void)0 : \
        epicsAssert(__FILE__, __LINE__, #exp, epicsAssertAuthor))

Depending on the optimization level, '(void)0' may be eliminated and the code becomes shorter (by 4 bytes = 1 PPC instruction).

Try to 'make clean' in the epics base top directory and compile again.

Dirk

I happened to be compiling with -O0.  I tried compiling with -O2
and these "size of symbol changed" warnings went away.  Strange.
