05/01/2020, 1:32 PMWhen we build binaries with Kotlin Native there seems to be a small overhead in size due to the K/N "runtime". If the binary is a shared library and you have many of these, this overhead is multiplied. Is there a way to build shared libs linked against a shared libkotlinnative, for example?
This way we could add a single libkotlinnative to the project. Kind of like in Android NDK you can choose to build with libc++_shared.so or libc++_static.so, each one being better than the other for some use cases. https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/cpp-support

However, of course, if you have a lot of them, a single runtime might make more sense. I’ve been thinking about this in the ios and framework context, as the likely reason why having multiple frameworks is complicated.
