Or lets think about a program > of 1.5 MB, how transfer it on floppy ? No one has mentioned programs that would not fit on a floppy. Please do NOT assume that because one Hellow world program was 10K and the other was 20K, that you have a factor of 2 difference, no, more likely you have a 10K difference, representing the basic overhead. So perhaps we are talking about a 1.32 MB program rather than 1.33. As I said earlier, the comparison figures are pretty useless you cannot generalize from them in this way. > > The size of large programs is a concern, but measuring the > > size of small programs has nothing at all to do with > > the size of larger, since what you are really > > concentrating on here is the default size of the minimal > > run-time library. > > As mentioned in my original article, I did the comparison not > only with "Hello world" (you've read it) ? But you only did it with small programs ... and almost certainly non-comparable programs at that ... Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
