does making static array variables increase the size of the binary?
my binary is at 50 megabytes now, it's a debug build. but that's getting unwieldy now.
i have a bunch of static arrays, some are created at runtime, some at compile time.

is there other code practices to reduce the binary size?

any static array that isn't initialized to all zeros must be present in the binary, theres nowhere else to store it

embedfile compressed data - trade binary size for runtime allocation and decompression, but really, I don't quite understand the obsession with stuffing everything into one file.

or just fill the array at runtime

True, could have a large static array in bss, and read into it, if a one-time allocation is a problem for you. What slow in allocations is doing a lot of them.
