Enabling frame pointers in x86-64 binaries can reduce size due to more compact RBP-relative addressing, but SFrame has a significant VM size overhead and lacks clear advantages over established alternatives. GCC-built binaries are larger than Clang-built binaries, and GCC's frame pointer code generation appears less optimized than its default omit-frame-pointer path.
