It is interesting to note that the -s option does operate differently than the strip command (though that command may have a different name on your system). It would appear that strip functions more efficiently from my brief review of it with Mr. Google.

Some people even find that with gcc compiled for windows that the -s option produces corrupt executable files... may have been a bug that has since been fixed though.

well it seems that i'm not the only one facing this problem and just as i expected it seems that the problem is in the header and i think that my problem will ne solved here, i will try every thing you gave me here hoping my problem wil be solved

----> a little note

one i compiled an assembly programs that prints the letter "x" and it gave me an executable of only a few bytes !

try using C code, this will give you a great difference too:

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    printf('Hello World!");
    return 0;
}

only a few kb.

btw Dia_byte, i see you are on almost every forum i visit

I compiked it on dev_C++ and i got 76KB here is my code

(Toggle Plain Text)

 #include <iostream.h>

int main()
{

cout << "hello world\n";
return 0;
}

so it is just the compiler their is nothing you can do about it but deal with it or change compilers. sorry but that is all i can say to help you slove your problem.

I'll try it on MS VS.net later in C, C++ and C#.

On Windows you will get a much smaller executable if you use C and link with msvcrt.dll
Check out libctiny.lib

LIBCTINY

For Linux check out

hahaha, that explains a lot, i will see which others i can add to it, since i did not add all the forums i am a member of, but if you become a member of all of them you will have a busy day keeping up, it takes me about 2 hours per day reading and responding

That's nothing - I used to spend 3 hours a day on Fantasy Essentials. I stopped once I realised my social life would improve dramatically if I got off the PC once in a while. And it worked.

Dia_Byte · Nov 19th, 2004, 4:36 AM

well actually i think that some forums are better than others that's why i'm not visiting all of them and i'm saving time,

personally i prefer Antionline over gulfteck
and Programming Forums over C4arab ...

anyway a programmer can learn alot from signing up for all of these forums .
