Thread: [Dev-C++] a small comparison

This isn't exactly cutting-edge science, but I pass it along for posterity
anyway.

I have Dev-C++ and Microsoft Visual C++ .net Standard installed on the same
Win2K machine here, and compiled the same file in each:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	cout << "Doh!";
	return 0;
}

The difference in size between the .exe files created by the two programs
was the curious part.

Microsoft Visual C++ .net Standard ==> 452 KB
Dev-C++                            ==>  71 KB

It's hardly scientific, based on only one scenario, but I thought it was
interesting.

regards,
Rob

Some tips, be sure you're in retail mode, you're not linking statically any
unused library and you started a Win32 Console project.
If the size still is the same, I don't have the slighest idea :)

Retail mode? I'm not familiar with that term.

The process I used was to create a New Win32 Project, selecting console
application and checking blank project on the Win32 Application Wizard
dialogue. Then I selected Add New Item (.cpp file) and paste the source into
it.

I saved the file, built & compiled.
