Re: [Boost-users] binary size:boost::serialization and boost::variant

do you use static or dynamic linking of the library? I presume this is compiled for release. This issues with size are related to template programming in general and not to the serialization library in particular. Robert Ramey Tyler Littlefield wrote:

Hello, When working with the serialization my project's binary isn't overly bloated, until I add in the serialization. The debug size becomes about 13M with the size of the binary with symbols stripped being about 1.1M larger than before I included the variant.hpp. Is there any reason for this, or a way it can be solved? I'd rather not distribute a binary this large if I can help it.
