[Dev-C++] executable size

[Schedler, K. <Kur...@hi...>]

I was wondering why the size of my simple "Hello, world!" executable is
nearly three times the size of my simple window application.  I imagine it
has something to do with external DLL's or something, but could someone clue
me in for curiosity's sake?

Thanks,

krs.

[Dev-C++] executable size

[The Tone's. <to...@ds...>]

hi,

noob here again.

I notice that simply doing a #include <windows.h> increases my executable size
by some 250k without touching any functions in my code within WIN32.

Again, I am a Java programmer, so I am trying to get my head around how this
stuff works.

Is this increase in size due to needing a larger 'text' segment for all of the
stuff defined in <windows.h> and the 5 zillion #includes it pulls in ?

Or ... is this because libs or something are getting statically linked into the
executable ?

TIA,
Tony

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

When compiling with debug information on, every new include file results
in larger executable. windows.h isn't any include file. It is THE include
file. It continues to include a lot of other windows files.

For what I read, it's due to billion defines.
