ATL CRT Numbers
July 30, 2001The following table lists the various prices you pay for using the CRT and the default Win98 support in VC6. The builds were done with VC6, SP3, ATL COM in-proc server, no classes, no MFC, no merged p/s:
| Target | CRT | Win98 | Size |
| RelMinSize | _ATL_MIN_CRT | yes | 24KB |
| RelMinDepend | _ATL_MIN_CRT | yes | 24KB |
| RelMinSize | _ATL_MIN_CRT | /opt:nowin98* | 7KB |
| RelMinDepend | _ATL_MIN_CRT | /opt:nowin98 | 10KB |
| RelMinSize | MSVCRT | /opt:nowin98 | 20KB |
| RelMinDepend | MSVCRT | /opt:nowin98 | 22KB |
*Note: /opt:nowin98 is a VC6 linker switch that says not to align binaries on a Win98-friendly boundary. /opt:nowin98 builds will still load and run under Win98 without a problem, but the loading time could be longer. Also, when images get above 24KB, the /opt:nowin98 seems not to much of an affect on the size of the image.
