[Dev-C++] Compiler options problem

[Philip B. <phi...@pb...>]

Hi everyone,

I'm having some issues with the Compiler options in Dev C++. I am making =
a hello world C++ console app, and it comes out as 16.9 kb. I am not =
using iostream, I'm using cstdio and conio.h since that makes things =
about 400 kb smaller. But I have another project which uses the exact =
same code and there is some option set there which, when compiled, =
pushes it down to 6.00 kb! I have compared the project options compiler =
settings with the general ones and I can't find anything that is =
different. it is set to strip the executable, not generate debugging =
information or profile information, and the Optimize more option is set =
to yes.

In the project file, this line looks like it is the answer to my =
problem:
CompilerSettings=3D0000000001010000000100
There is some option there that is enabled, which seems to take the file =
size down even more but of course I don't know which one it is by just =
using the Dev C++ gui. Is there anywhere I can set the global compiler =
options for Dev C++ in this number format? That way I could make them =
match.

Regards
Philip Bennefall

Check the generated makefile - Makefile.win. It contains all the actual
build commands for the project.
