Increase in footprint after incorporating vcpkg

[Dwordcito]

Description

This issue aims to analyze and correct the increase that occurred after incorporating the dependencies from vcpkg, the increase is notable (from 23mbs to 38 mbs) in the main binary (output of the engine)

https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/issues/25073#issuecomment-2271431525

Expected

• Investigate the reasons for this increment.
• Apply changes to lower this increase.

[JcabreraC]

Update

• Studying the functionality of VCPKG.
• Analyzing memory growth related to VCPKG based on insights from this issue.

Steps to Investigate the memory Increase

• Compile with VCPKG: Start by compiling the project using VCPKG, incorporating the latest changes, as both "date" and "fast-float" have been added.
• Compare with CPM: Create a table highlighting the differences between the builds using "CPM" and "VCPKG."
• Check VCPKG Versions: Investigate which versions of the VCPKG libraries are being used. Verify if newer versions might account for the increased memory usage.
• Analyze VCPKG Compilation Impact: Examine whether the compilation of VCPKG itself could be contributing to the increase in memory usage.
• Fallback to CPM: If the cause is still unclear, try compiling with CPM while ensuring that the same versions of the libraries used by VCPKG are also used.

Update

The observed differences in library sizes between CPM and VCPKG are mainly due to the newer versions of the dependencies used in VCPKG, which may include new features, improvements, optimizations, or changes to the default build configuration.

To confirm whether the differences in library sizes are due solely to version updates, it would be advisable to revert to a previous commit where only CPM was used and then force the use of the same versions of the libraries that are currently being used in VCPKG. This approach would allow to isolate the differences caused by version changes and to more accurately analyze the impact that these newer versions have on the final size of the libraries.

This analysis will not only validate whether the observed differences are due to version changes, but will also provide a clearer view of the impact that the updated versions have on the size and possibly the performance of the libraries. This is essential to decide whether adopting the newer versions offers sufficient benefits in terms of functionality and optimization to outweigh any increase in binary size.

Additionally, the total has been added, showing that the difference between VCPKG and CPM is only 1.8M.

Difference Type	Total Size Difference
Positive Differences	5.411M
Negative Differences	-3.544M

Conclusion

The memory increase, which is no more than 1.8MB, may be attributed to the fact that many libraries introduced for VCPKG have been upgraded to higher versions.

[JcabreraC]

After completing the analysis, the addition of VCPKG packages, and the implemented changes, the main binary remains as follows:

root@new-engine:/home/vagrant/engine/wazuh/src/engine# find . -name “main” -exec ls -lh {} ;
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root root 31M Aug 27 15:56 ./build/main

This represents a 7MB reduction compared to the previous analysis and an 8MB increase compared to CPM. The increase is justified by the addition of new features and upgraded library versions.
