- Why are C++ executable programs atleast 10 times bigger than C programs.
- Case and point. I've been learning to write C and C++ and the first
- promgram anyone teaches you to write is the "Hello World".
-
- The C source and C++ source file are about the same number of lines of
- code and about the same file size. But after compliling the source, C++
- programs are HUGE, 200K vs. 12K with C.
-
- What's up with this?
