Re: [Boost-users] Reducing the size of .obj file which doesserialization

Hi Robert, Thanks for the reply. a) what compiler/platform are you using.

MSVC/Windows

b) 37 MB suggests that you're including the debug symbols. Assuming this is correct, how large is it when compiling for release. Does the size of the debug version really matter?

Yes it is in the debug mode and the size in Debug mode doesn't matter. In Release mode, it came down to 21MB. When i removed the BOOST_EXPORT, the size in DEBUG came down to 23MB.

c) I'm doubtful that BOOST_EXPORT has this large an impact. How large was the executable before you exported the derived classes?

Still, i haven't formed the executable with serialization. I will let you know, within a day or two.

Please let me know, if you need any other details. Thanks, Gokul.
