Ordinarily I don’t study post on sites, however wish to state that this kind of write-up quite required myself to see and also accomplish that! Your own way of writing continues to be surprised me. Appreciate it, quite good content.

No, you can. If necessary, link to msvcrt.lib or the similar import libraries.

Another good way to decrease size of your binary is using a WinAPI calls only. And as you can see in MSDN, WinAPI supports huge amount of possibilities to replace C++ std. libs. And your binary will have a great portability, because in Windows we have variety of msvcr*.dll’s, so with WinAPI you can avoid this “DLL Hell”

I hope the people who left bad comments regarding this tutorial doesn’t get to you, because we would love to see more of your tutorials. I will try this tutorial in due time, and I understand that we might not use it IRL but people, or at least me, wants to know how things work.

Thanks!

quote “From 31,000 bytes to less than 1,000 (620 bytes to be exact). I guess the real question we should be asking is “Why didn’t Microsoft just start here and then add things as we need them?” I’m sure they’re crying all the way to the bank.”

You don’t get it, I like experiments like this that can show a way to get to this goal if needed or “REQUIRED”. The issue is criticizing Microsoft for having default settings that improve performance and security over a smaller image.

You don’t get it.
Some applications REQUIRE such size contraints.

Demoscene anyone?
