Reasons for difference in Code Size ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Code Difference Example void DataMobilityRxProcessor::processUnsupVer(void) { MSG_PTR msg_buf_ptr; MM_DEVICE_INFO_MSG *msg_ptr; RETURN_STATUS ret_status; UINT16 msg_size; // Determine size of ici message msg_size = sizeof( MM_DEVICE_INFO_MSG); // Create ICI message object to send to DMTX so it sends a Device Info // message to VLR and HLR clients IciMsg ici_msg_object( MM_DEVICE_INFO_OPC, ICI_DMTX_TASK_ID, msg_size); // Retrieve ICI message buffer pointer msg_buf_ptr = ici_msg_object.getIciMsgBufPtr(); // Typecast pointer from (void *) to (MM_DEVICE_INFO_MSG *) msg_ptr = (MM_DEVICE_INFO_MSG *)msg_buf_ptr; // Populate message buffer SET_MM_DEVICE_INFO_DEVICE_TYPE( msg_ptr, SERVER); SET_MM_DEVICE_INFO_NUM_VER_SUPPORTED( msg_ptr, NUM_VER_SUPPORTED); SET_MM_DEVICE_INFO_FIRST_SUP_PROTO_VERS( msg_ptr, PROTO_VERSION_ONE); // Send message to the DMTX task ret_status = m_ici_io_ptr->send(&ici_msg_object); // Check that message was sent successfully if (ret_status != SUCCESS) { // Report problem when sending ICI message sz_err_msg( MAJOR, SZ_ERR_MSG_ERR_OPCODE, __FILE__, __LINE__, "DataMobilityRxProcessor processUnsupVer: failure sending " " device info message to DMTX"); } } Erlang sz_dme_dmtx:cast(device_info) C++
