MAP file analysis - where's my code size comes from?

I am looking for a tool to simplify analysing a linker map file for a large C++ project (VC6).

During maintenance, the binaries grow steadily and I want to figure out where it comes from. I suspect some overzealeous template expansion in a library shared between different DLL's, but just browsing the map file doesn't give good clues.

Any suggestions?

Solution

This is a wonderful compiler generated map file analysis/explorer/viewer tool. Check if you can explore gcc generated map file.

amap : A tool to analyze .MAP files produced by 32-bit Visual Studio compiler and report the amount of memory being used by data and code. This app can also read and analyze MAP files produced by the Xbox360, Wii, and PS3 compilers.
