Today I downloaded the Delphi and C++ Builder XE trial.
I was worried about the size of Delphi exes for a long time (in XE it is 850 kb), and I thought, why such a big size of app even it is just has a blank form?
But on C++ Builder XE the minimum size is just 120 kb!
Even if I included a Delphi form in the C++ project, there was still no major size difference.
How is C++ Builder able to make a small exe with virtually the same contents? And why can’t Delphi do it?
Maybe the C++ Builder exe you created is dependent on runtime packages such as vcl60.bpl and rtl60.bpl? This would explain the smaller size.
