    I noticed that Release size is bigger than Debug size.

    I have simple project for RaspberryPi with some classes and in Debug it has 245kB but in Release is has 295kB.

    When I compile this project in Eclipse on Linux Release has about 110 kB.

    Why Release in VisualGDB has that big size?

    Thanks for any response!

    Hi,

    It’s hard to say why your executable is larger, it could be caused by some code being inlined/expanded, larger symbol tables, or some extra libraries. You can use the objdump tool to figure it out in detail, but if you are targeting Raspberry Pi with 512MB of RAM, 50 KB difference (0.01% of RAM) won’t have any noticeable effect at all.

    Yes, of course that this is any problem. I was just curious. 🙂

    Sure. Most likely it’s the size of debug symbols then.
