Thread: [Dev-C++] Re: compare and contrast

I don't know if it would make up the difference in
size, but Microsoft adds a couple lines to every
executable. It is something like 
cout << "Press any key to continue.";
cin.ignore(256,'\n');
so microsoft's stuff would be a little bigger unless,
you added those lines manually in Dev. Unless dev does
it nowadays. I wouldn't know because I have an older
version of dev.

I think that may be only true in certain cases, such as with
Student/Learning Editions. Or perhaps it's an option I don't have turned on.

When run, the executables I produced in this experiment (and others run
since I recently installed the .net IDE) do as expected and return to the
command prompt.

I do remember the "Press any key to continue" behavior from the "Learning
Edition" of MSVC++ 6 that we used in CS classes at Belhaven College, though.
(And I found it annoying, to be honest.)

Rob

No, I don't think Microsoft adds these lines to the executable. If
you run the executable from the command line, I'm pretty sure you don't
see this behaviour other than when testing the application from the
IDE.
