PureBasic Forums - English

hi

I just noticed that from version 6.10 the file size of an exe compilation is much larger than one with 6.04, for example. In x86 and 64bit
compiling in 6.10 also takes a bit longer.

Is there an explanation for this? I tried to find something enlightening in the forum (announcements in German and English). But I'm blind to it.
I remember talking about Purebasic, among other things because it makes small programs. It would be a shame if that were no longer the case.

a test with a simple message requester
CODE: SELECT ALL

MessageRequester("","")

l32 bit 6.04 6.10
6kb 299Kb
64 bit 6.04 6.10
7kb 487 Kb

I'm really curious

I noticed that recently too, but I think it's a good thing because it means there are fewer false positives.

this has already been discussed several times....
i.e. PureBasic v6.10 is producing a file size 5 times bigger than v6.04

There seems to be an improvement in the next version.
PureBasic 6.11 LTS Beta 3 is ready for testing !

thanks for the hints ..

(hm . strange that i hadn't found it be myself)
