How to minimize the code [exe size]
<![CDATA[
Q:
Do anyone could inform me how to minimize the code?
Maybe, really removing debug information?
A:
The only options that makes the Delphi linker include debug information into the finished executable is the option to include TD32 Debug Info.
In Delphi 5 this is under menu item Project | Options on tab 'Linker' in the field 'EXE and DLL options'. Below is a little example program. The size of the output file RegistryDel.exe was..
60 kB linked without TD32 debug info
970 kB linked including TD32 debug info
program RegistryDel;
uses
Windows, Registry;
{$R *.RES}
var
s : string;
begin
with TRegistry.Create do
begin
RootKey := HKEY_CURRENT_USER;
s := ParamStr(1);
if s='' then
s := '\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\RecentURLList';
DeleteKey (s);
Free;
end;
end.
