hey, While checking --as-needed on Windows (which, btw, seems useless as the win32 linker seems smarter than the linux one), i've looked at the size of binaries produced by mingw.org (hence 32 bits) and mingw-w64 64 bits. The code:
#include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("test\n"); return 0; } compilation options : -Wl,-s -o as_needed.exe as_needed.c with mingw.org, the size is 7680 bytes with mingw-w64 : 36864 bytes One told me that it is normal that the size is bigger with 64 bits as alignment is not 32 but 64 bits, also some types are bigger. What I want to know is if, for such a simple program, the difference of size (almost x5) is normal thank you Vincent Torri ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
