RC2022/10: Weekend One

Taking Stock

I started out by looking at what I had, and figuring out what to work on first. Immediately, I noticed memory usage was a little higher than I remembered. Looking closer, it seems the most likely culprit is simply the libraries being loaded - there’s a few:

• libjpeg
• libpng (statically linked into the core dll since the makefile built a static version)
• libcurl
• openssl (pulled in by libcurl, though I might use it directly later)
• cJSON
• zlib (needed by libpng)

Of these, openssl is the largest. I’m not actually using most of these right now, and I am actually tempted to use a design which does not depend on libcurl, however I’ll still need openssl (or similar).
