[Qt-interest] Huge object files with Visual Studio Express 2008

[Bernd Brandstetter]

Hi,

sorry for being a bit off-topic.

I just switched from Visual Studio 6 to Visual Studio 2008 Express and 
built Qt-4.5.1 with it. I was a bit perplexed when I noticed that the 
object files in the release build were significantly larger (some up to 10 
times) compared to those of the debug build. For instance, all WebKit 
objects occupied ~800 MB for the debug and ~2.3 GB for the release build.

Is this normal? With gcc and Visual Studio 6 it is rather the opposite - 
object files compiled with debug information are usually much larger.

Regards,
Bernd
