Depends on your program and what library you use. For example, this program #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello World\n"); return 0; } copiles to an .EXE of approx. 40 kB This one #include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl; return 0; } compiles to an EXE that is 10 times larger. It's the overhad in the statically linked STLPORT lib. - Heinz
