Removing module

[Reine]

Hello

Thank you.

What we are trying to do is minimize RTEMS because we have to qualify it 
for space use and if it is less code it will be much easier.

I've removed everything easy..

  --disable-networking
  --disable-cxx
  --disable-itron
  --disable-tests
  --disable-docs
  --disable-posix
  --disable-drvmgr

We have also removed the filesystem and the consoles.

Now I started to look at managers, what you say about unused code is 
removed seem to be
true..but not entirely .. (or it is used)

For instance we do not need the region manager or the partition manager 
but still there are symbols in the application code for the latter:

sparc-rtems-readelf -a RPWI_FSW1 | grep region
    247: 00000000     0 FILE    LOCAL  DEFAULT  ABS region.c
    295: 00000000     0 FILE    LOCAL  DEFAULT  ABS regiondata.c

juice at ubuntu:~/software/flight_software_dev$ sparc-rtems-readelf -a 
RPWI_FSW1 | grep partition
    378: 4000f7e0   252 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 
rtems_partition_get_buffe
    948: 4000f0e0   284 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 
rtems_partition_return_bu


So it seems the region manager is not there but there are things for the 
partition manager in there.

Does that mean RTEMS use the partition manager internally ?


I guess what I need is ideas to trim RTEMS down...
