Break down C++ code size

I'm looking for a nice Stack Overflow-style answer to the first question in the old blog post C++ Code Size, which I'll repeat below:

I’d really like some tool (ideally, g++ based) that shows me what parts of compiled/linked code are generated from what parts of C++ source code. For instance, to see whether a particular template is being instantiated for hundreds of different types (fixable via a template specialization) or whether code is being inlined excessively, or whether particular functions are larger than expected.

What is code size?

The code size defines the dimensions of the parity check matrix. Occasionally the term 'code length' is given as n. Usually a code is defined by employing its length and row column weight in the form.

What does sizeof array return in C?

The sizeof() operator returns pointer size instead of array size. The 'sizeof' operator returns size of a pointer, not of an array, when the array was passed by value to a function. In this code, the A object is an array and the sizeof(A) expression will return value 100. The B object is simply a pointer.

What is C in stackoverflow?

Stack overflow occurs when − C) If a function is called recursively by itself infinite times then stack will be unable to store large number of local variables, so stack overflow will occur − void calculate(int a) { if (a== 0) return; a = 6; calculate(a); } int main() { int a = 5; calculate(a); }
