Hi, 

I couldn't find any reference to this in the FAQs or anything.

I compiled and run a C++ "hello world" program using gcc/cygwin
under windows 95 using all the defaults, and although it 
works fine I am surprised to find the executable is nearly half a
megabyte in size.  (462404 bytes, to be precise.) 
Why is this?  Is there any way I can reduce the size to something 
more reasonable?

Many thanks

Richard Kaye



#include <iostream>

int main () {
    cout << "Hello World\n";
    return 0;
}
