Abstract: Initially, my primary focus as a developer was to ensure that my code could compile and execute - more or less - as intended. However, as I progressed, I began to prioritize not just the functionality but also the quality of the code. At the time, I didn't consider the size of the binary as a factor. Nevertheless, in some jobs, it can be a crucial consideration.
In this talk, you will learn about what makes an executable big. Or small. You will learn about what an executable file consists of, and what practices affect its size in one way or another. Among others, we'll talk about object initialization, RTTI, exceptions and templates. All in the context of executable sizes.
