No, using BCC 6.30 I get bigger EXE than BCC 5.82, even with simple pure C samples.

Enrico,
Sorry, I cannot confirm your finding because in my test, the following code:
// file test.c
#include "stdio.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  printf("Hello World\n");
}
// file test.cCompiled with command line: BCC32 test.c produced exe as follows:
Compiled with BCC 5.82: 121,344 test.exe
Compiled with BCC 6.3 : 60,928 test.exe

You're right! I retest the C sample and BCC 6.30 produces smaller EXEs than BCC 5.82 in pure C. But still my xHarbour console EXEs and my FWH EXEs are bigger with 6.30 compared with 5.82. Test this, please:
EMG
FUNCTION MAIN()
? "Hello, World!"
RETURN NILEMG
Hi Enrico,
Sorry. Still my exe is smaller (by approx 10%):
09/29/2010 03:40 PM 671,744 hello58.exe
09/29/2010 03:40 PM 617,984 hello63.exe
Make sure you re-compile ALL your PRG AND C Codes.

Make sure you re-compile ALL your PRG _AND_ C Codes.
Oops, that was console app compiled with Harbour.
O Yes, I confirm the exe of 6.3 compiled with xHarbour is bigger than 5.82

Ok, no problem. I'd only want to know the real reason...

I found a bug in TLib of the new BCC 6.30. Building FWH takes forever using the following batch (it works fine if TLib from 5.82 is used):
XHARBOUR.CFG

Hi,
What are the advantages of this new version in terms of speed and perfomance?
Thank you.
Saludos,

Probably nothing that you can see in a "real world" application. But it's still a good idea to keep your compiler updated.
