Disclosed herein are techniques for reducing sizes of executable files. Techniques include identifying an executable file having a plurality of functions; determining, by parsing the executable file or a code structure representing the executable file, that a first and second function each comprise a common block; identifying a third function configured to perform the common block; changing the first and second functions by: removing the common block from at least one of the first or second functions; and inserting a call to the third function into at least one of the first or second functions; and updating the executable file by: replacing, in the executable file, at least one of the first or second functions with at least one of the updated first or second functions; and adding the third function to the executable file.
