Hi,

my friends and i have been confused by this problem.
On a veriety of systems we have tested compiling a simple hello word
applicaation to check optimisation of C++ in 2003 VS.NET.
However on one of the machines, the best we can get is 61k under a blank
win32 console app.

We were trying to wrk out what we should tweak as we have tried excluding
Libraries, and a few other tweaks as suggested in forums.

Your help is much appreciated

Thankyou

Vicky

Simply ensure that your code is not calling anything in the VC runtime
library. Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible from a console
application. Regardless, you can confirm this by not linking to any of the
standard libraries (see /NODEFAULTLIBRARY). Stick to Win32 API calls only.

See the notes section in

Are you sure you weren't looking at a Debug build in the 61K case? How are
you building the project - from a Visual Studio project (.vcproj file) or
something else?
