Re: [xmlvm-dev] C backend and library

[Jeff P. <jcp...@ro...>]

Saw this thread & all the system level responses.  Android's use of Proguard
is at application level.  Staying at the application level, I have a
question.  If a xmlvm user had a large library jar, not RJE, that was only
slightly being used, would any of the un-used methods, end up in the final
program?  I care as much about output size as build time.

Just wondering, since the user could always run everything through Proguard,
before they even get to you.  I was using Proguard for Android a year before
they actually supported it.
