static .lib size with VC++ 6 / 7 ??
-
Hi, I transferred a project from VC++ 6 to 7. This is a static library. The library produced by VC++ 7 is twice bigger than with VC++ 6 (either in release or debug mode). Is there something to tune there or is it normal ? Thanks for your help. I really need to know the how and why because I release these libraries in a setup package and I don't want it to grow so much. Nicolas

this is normal. i've discussed the issue with MS and they know about it (and don't care to fix it). most of the increase in my libs have been due to STL changes (specifically, changes to the 'locale' stuff). http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=9rr8musco4ofdmme51ketqr023mmgmiclm%404ax.com&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D9rr8musco4ofdmme51ketqr023mmgmiclm%25404ax.com[^] -c
I'm not the droid you're looking for.
