hi,

I like to know the difference between executable generated in debug mode and to that of Release mode under VC++ environment. The file size in debug mode is more than file size in release size.
Actually optimisation of code occurs in release mode. But by seeing the file size diff i can't think that much optimisation occurs. I guess the code generated in debug mode contains debug information. if this is the case, is it required to embed the debug info into the executable. Please come up with the full details which takes major role in code generation.
