Hi H. J., Hi Dave,

Do you think it would be a reasonable approach to define a global flag variable for the entire bfd library that indicates minimal memory usage is desired, and a function such as bfd_set_memory_usage_policy() to set it? It would allow us to make other functions small-memory friendly as we went along, without changing any existing behaviour.
It isn't a bad idear. We already have
--no-keep-memory Use less memory and more disk I/O --reduce-memory-overheads Reduce memory overheads, possibly taking much long --hash-size=<NUMBER> Set default hash table size close to <NUMBER>
Can we consolidate them?
Cheers Nick
