           Summary: Size of executable almost triples
           Product: D
           Version: 1.032
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: StefanLiebig at web.de


I recently had to fix a little bug in an D application (win32). I thought that
it would also be a good idea to upgrade to the most current version of the D
compiler.
When upgrading to 1.033 from 1.025 the executable size almost tripled from 227
kb to 603 kb! After building with all version from 1.025 up I found that this
phenomenon occurs when switching from 1.031 to 1.032. I did not change the
compiler options (-release, -o) when building with several dmd versions.
I saw the many changes/bugfixes from 1.031 to 1.032. However, can that explain
this behaviour?
