Then I need one class from a huge vector calculation static library. void main() { cout >> "hello"; CVector myvec; myvec.Set(25,25,0); myvec.GetAngle(); } The result is a 1MB exe because the vector lib is really huge. But shouldn't the linker be smart enough to just link the required code instead of blowing up my application?? I generated a mapfile and see that it contains a lot of unused static lib functions. Is there a way to force the linker to not add all this unused stuff. Is this a matter of include files? As soon as I include a header file the linker will link-in all content of this file. Or where is the logic about this? I'm using VS.Net 2003 I need your help Please give me some hints -Mel Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         C++Talk.NET Forum Index -> C++ language (comp.lang.c++) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C/C++----------------C LanguageC Language (Moderated)C++ Language (Moderated)C++ language (comp.lang.c++)C++ language, library and standards Non-English C/C++ Newsgroups----------------C++ (German)C++ (French)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
