Obviously, you did a scientific analysis

  that's right; when someone exposes your observations as unscientific =
and specious, just get snippy. that'll help your case.

      i stated my problem quite clearly.

            Yes it is really significant.
            2 essential creterias for a compile : the size of generated =
code and its execution speed.
            Do you agree?=20

          then perhaps you should do a more appropriate test? like =
checking compile size/speed of a program of a more realistic size/scope? =
saying that some one-line program differs in size by a few k isn't =
really saying anything.

          in addition, since your code is so small it's negligible, you =
may well be testing how efficiently the MinGW libraries are written =
instead of how efficiently the compiler compiles (at least as far as =
speed is concerned, if not size as well)...

          if you're really interested in making an evaluation worth =
reading and not cluttering my inbox with drivel, you will need to =
analyze the generated assembly code from both compilers.

          just a (half-baked) thought,
