Re: [Boost-users] How to reduce the size of a output DLL file?

I used to build a DLL file with VS2005 & boost-1_33, the project used boost::thread, asio, serialization, filesystem, datetime,system, link static, /MT, and the output DLL file size is about 1.7M.

Now I port the project to VS2008 SP1 with boost-1_36, but the output file size increase  to 2.9M!

The VS2008 DLL project just default setting. I do not know whether this problem is boost-1_36 OR vs2008. Can some one give me some tips for how to reduce the DLL out put file size?

Try to build both Boost and your project with "secure" STL off (#define _SECURE_SCL 0)
