RE: [Mingw-users] Executable size for C++ code

MingW executable:
	Test.exe : 73 Kb
	MingWM10.dll: 4 Kb

	Total: 77 Kb

VC++ executable:
	Test.exe: 16 Kb
	MSVCP60.dll: 401 Kb

	Total: 417 Kb

Both:
	Kernel32.dll
	MSCRT.dll
	NTDLL.dll

I did not look at WxWindows but my MingW's "Hello world" is smaller than
VC++'s one.

Joost

Both compiled with RTTI, exceptions, multithread, using DLL's

Source:

#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
   std::cout << "Hello world\n";
   return 0;
}
