Hi,
I build my C++ project (windows DLL) with GNU C and Borland C++.
Everything is fine except huge difference in resulting DLL file size.
GNU C procuces almost 10 times larger file than Borland C (429568 vs
46080)!
I don't belive GNU C is so unoptimized, probably my problem is in
options I use for compiler/linker/dll wrapper.
1) GNU (Dev-Cpp has been used)
