Hi !
I use a C++ library of templated classes, it is a small set of very big C++
files, and when I link to the library my application grows big time.
It look's like it links to stuff in the library that are not referenced in
any way, my question is how is the link done, will it put the entire object
file into my executable if anything is referenced or does it only include
the methods that are used in the object file ?

To expand a little on this: If you want the later, put each method in a
separate .cc file
