So I'm using a common include file, which I'll add to the end of this message,
and I've noticed something very strange. I used the Object browser to find
all the units, and I have triple checked to ensure they all include the
include file and this is what I've found:
With DEBUGGING set my file compiles to 115K
Without DEBUGGING set 81K
When I look at the file there is still loads of symbol information there.
After TDStrip of the above file, it's down to 55K (81-55=26). That's a 26K
difference. Where is it coming from? Sure I'm using CRT and DOS, and
obviously the include file doesn't work for them, but after looking at the
remaining symbol information, it's alot of stuff from my various units
aswell as CRT and DOS.
What's the deal with the symbols coming from my units when I tell them
not to? I say symbols as it's all declarations from my interface
sections like variables and procedure names, etc.
Anyways, I wasn't interested in using multiple configuration files, but
I guess I'll have to as I forgot about Borland units, and I guess everyone
else did aswell.
