v8.1.2 binary bloat

[FredS]

My.EXE size difference between the two releases:

Code: Select all

Win32
37,194,072 bytes v8.1.2 (26-Nov-2019)
35,547,648 bytes v8.0.1 (22-Jul-2019) with bug fixes via supplied source
possibly more for Win64

I used a cmd compile pointing back to 8.0.1 to assure the same code base.

Please describe the issue in a greater detail. Any additional information is appreciated.

When I compile my project using Berlin the resulting EXE is much larger in 8.12 than in 8.01.

To test I compiled using the command line compiler and simply switched back to the previous version:

Code: Select all

@SET UNILIB=D:\VCL\UniDAC\8.0.1 (19-Aug-2019)\Lib\Delphi24

We've compiled the demo project distributed with our components using UniDAC 8.0.1 and UniDAC 8.1.2 в RAD Studio 10.1 Berlin -- the resulting applications don't differ significantly in size. Please clarify what steps we should take in our environment to get the results identical to yours.

--the resulting applications don't differ significantly in size.

Tried that and you're correct.
Embarrassing.. but I still have those EXEs on a backup and will inspect them closer when time permits.

We will be waiting for news from you

Turns out one had a resource linked in while the other did not.

Sorry about that..
