Re: [Dev-C++] Executable size is huge

So then C++ compiled files will be 10x bigger than C compiled ones? Man
I made a program that draws 3D objects with OpenGL and graphical
interface with GTK. It's C code and the exe is only 34KB. I'm wondering
what the file size will be if I do it in C++...

Does anyone think the developers of Dev-C++ will change it? It's very
scary.
