I tried compiling a simple "Hello World" program with the Thomson Software's ActivAda for Windows
and Thomson's new "ObjectAda". The ActivAda version produces a executable file size of about 288K.
ObjectAda produces an exe of about 788K. Microsoft C++ produces an exe of about 10K. Why are the
executables so substantially different? Are the Ada compilers linking in alot of excess baggage? I
have tried various compiler switches, but nothing seems to shrink the exe file sizes.
Can anyone enlighten me here?
