[Verse 1] Your compiler's watching every byte you claim Flags like minus-Os can shrink the binary game Dead code lurking in forgotten functions deep The linker's ax will make those bloated sections weep [Chorus] Const correctness, memory compressed Link-time magic puts your code to test Eliminate the waste, optimize the space Compile-time wisdom keeps your system's pace Flags and constants, trimming every trace Memory mastery in this coding race [Verse 2] Mark your variables as constant when they stay Read-only data finds a cheaper place to lay The optimizer sees what never needs to change Moves it from the heap to segments rearranged [Chorus] Const correctness, memory compressed Link-time magic puts your code to test Eliminate the waste, optimize the space Compile-time wisdom keeps your system's pace Flags and constants, trimming every trace Memory mastery in this coding race [Bridge] Whole program analysis at linking time Cross-module boundaries, the optimizer climbs Unused symbols vanish without a sound Template bloat defeated, leaner code is found Profile-guided optimization knows the way Hot paths survive while cold code fades away [Verse 3] Strip debug symbols when you ship to production Size reduction through strategic code reduction Inline expansion balanced with binary growth The compiler juggles speed and memory both [Chorus] Const correctness, memory compressed Link-time magic puts your code to test Eliminate the waste, optimize the space Compile-time wisdom keeps your system's pace Flags and constants, trimming every trace Memory mastery in this coding race [Outro] From compilation to the final link Every optimization makes your footprint shrink Smart decisions at build time pay Efficient systems born from compiler's way
