<h1 align="center">Size Of The SQLite Library</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The code space used by the SQLite library depends on the target
|
|
platform, the compiler, and optimization settings. These variables
|
|
also affect performance.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The chart below shows the relative size and performance for SQLite
|
|
as of 2017-10-08 for various compilers and optimization settings
|
|
as tested on Ubuntu 16.04.3 on x86_64. General observations:
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
The Clang/LLVM compiler is not competitive with GCC. Clang-generated
|
|
binaries are consistently larger and slower than GCC-generated binaries.
|
|
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
Profile guided optimization (PGO) is not helpful with SQLite. PGO results
|
|
in binaries that are about 1% larger and about 0.33% slower.
|
|
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
GCC-7 generates binaries that are smaller and faster than GCC-5, though
|
|
the difference is not that great.
|
|
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
Compiling with GCC and -Os results in a binary that is slightly less
|
|
than 500KB in size. (Update 2018-07-07: Due to the addition of new
|
|
features such as <a href="lang_upsert.html">UPSERT</a> and <a href="windowfunctions.html">window functions</a>, the library footprint
|
|
is now slightly larger than 500KB.)
|
|
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
The only significant design decision that developers need to make is
|
|
whether to use -Os (optimize for size) or -O6 (optimize for speed).
|
|
The -O6 setting makes binaries that run about 2% or 3% faster, but which
|
|
are also 66% larger. The performance here is measured by counting CPU
|
|
cycles using cachegrind. I-cache misses are not considered in the
|
|
analysis. If I-cache misses are considered, builds with -O6 might not
|
|
be any faster than builds with -Os.
|
|
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
Taking into consideration all of the above, the SQLite developers recommend
|
|
compiling SQLite using GCC-7 with the -Os optimization setting.
|

<h1>Details</h1>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
Measurements above were conducted using SQLite version
|
|
<a href="https://sqlite.org/src/timeline?c=5594a121bf132a98">5594a121bf132a98</a> from
|
|
2017-10-08.
|
|
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
The only SQLite compile-time option used was <a href="compile.html#enable_memsys5">-DSQLITE_ENABLE_MEMSYS5</a>.
|
|
The optional <a href="malloc.html#memsys5">memsys5</a> memory allocator is used for performance testing
|
|
because it gives results that are more repeatable than the library-supplied
|
|
malloc()/free() on Ubuntu.
|
|
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
Performance can be improved and the size reduced by
|
|
enabling <a href="compile.html#threadsafe">-DSQLITE_THREADSAFE=0</a>,
|
|
<a href="compile.html#default_memstatus">-DSQLITE_DEFAULT_MEMSTATUS=0</a>,
|
|
<a href="compile.html#default_wal_synchronous">-DSQLITE_DEFAULT_WAL_SYNCHRONOUS=1</a>,
|
|
<a href="compile.html#like_doesnt_match_blobs">-DSQLITE_LIKE_DOESNT_MATCH_BLOBS</a>,
|
|
<a href="limits.html#max_expr_depth">-DSQLITE_MAX_EXPR_DEPTH=0</a>,
|
|
<a href="compile.html#omit_decltype">-DSQLITE_OMIT_DECLTYPE</a>,
|
|
<a href="compile.html#omit_deprecated">-DSQLITE_OMIT_DEPRECATED</a>,
|
|
<a href="compile.html#omit_progress_callback">-DSQLITE_OMIT_PROGRESS_CALLBACK</a>,
|
|
<a href="compile.html#omit_shared_cache">-DSQLITE_OMIT_SHARED_CACHE</a>, and
|
|
<a href="compile.html#use_alloca">-DSQLITE_USE_ALLOCA</a>.
|
|
All these options together result in about a 3.5% performance increase and
|
|
a 3.0% size reduction.
|
|
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
Adding optional features like <a href="compile.html#enable_json1">-DSQLITE_ENABLE_JSON1</a>,
|
|
<a href="compile.html#enable_fts5">-DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS5</a>, or <a href="compile.html#enable_rtree">-DSQLITE_ENABLE_RTREE</a> will increase the
|
|
size of the library, obviously.
|
|
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
Performance was measured using the
|
|
<a href="https://sqlite.org/src/file/test/speedtest1.c">speedtest1.c</a> utility program,
|
|
which attempts to mimic a typical workload for SQLite. Options to
|
|
the test runs are:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<tt>--shrink-memory --reprepare --stats --heap 10000000 64 --size 5</tt>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
Performance was measured by running speedtest1 using cachegrind and
|
|
observing the "I refs" output.
|
|
