Re: RES: [Dev-C++] generated .exe is too big

[Louis G. <lg...@ya...>]

David and List,
It seems unbelievable that the same code compiled with gcc 2.95 
generates a 5kb exe file, compared to 35kb when compiled under
gcc3.2. A 100% increase would be bad enough; but this is a 700%
 increase ??

Can other DevC++ users comment on this ?
