Module: keep frame pointer in ReleaseSmall on x86
On x86 and x86_64 keeping the frame pointer usually reduces binary size, even for simple programs: ``` ~$ cat x.zig pub fn main() void { @import("std").debug.print("hello", .{}); } ~$ zig build-exe x.zig -target x86_64-linux -OReleaseSmall -fno-omit-frame-pointer && wc -c x 5168 x ~$ zig build-exe x.zig -target x86_64-linux -OReleaseSmall -fomit-frame-pointer && wc -c x 5216 x ``` ``` ~$ cat x.zig pub fn main() void { @import("std").debug.print("hello", .{}); } ~$ zig build-exe x.zig -target x86-linux -OReleaseSmall -fno-omit-frame-pointer && wc -c x 3400 x ~$ zig build-exe x.zig -target x86-linux -OReleaseSmall -fomit-frame-pointer && wc -c x 3556 x ``` A bigger benchmark is the Zig compiler: With no changes to anything on master branch: ``` $ zig build -Dno-lib -Dno-langref --zig-lib-dir lib -Doptimize=ReleaseSmall $ wc -c zig-out/bin/zig 10698792 zig-out/bin/zig ``` Adding `.omit_frame_pointer = false` in `addCompilerStep` in `build.zig`: ``` $ zig build -Dno-lib -Dno-langref --zig-lib-dir lib -Doptimize=ReleaseSmall $ wc -c zig-out/bin/zig 10155744 zig-out/bin/zig ```
