Makefile: helper to print the binary sizes.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds a simple Makefile helper that prints the sizes of compiled programs and test binaries. It is a development convenience tool with no effect on the actual Core Lightning software, its network behavior, or user funds.
No security action needed. This is a benign build-system helper.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch introduces a new ‘print-binary-sizes’ make target in the Makefile. It depends on the existing ALL_PROGRAMS and ALL_TEST_PROGRAMS variables and uses find/printf/awk to list individual file sizes and compute totals. No source code, build flags, installed binaries, or runtime logic are changed.
