I started it because it seems very std-conform to me. But one thing is very astonishing for me. some little programs (very little) take for example #include main() { cout << "Hello"; } make executables of about 300KB.(my watcom produces about 20KB executable). So I make big mistakes in the setting. Can anybody explain which?
