digitalmars.D.dwt - talk about dwt,jface executable size

dwt hello world size : 1.50 MB
jface hello world size: 2.52 MB

the size is not too big!
the main issue seems too long to build a static library by dsss, this may be a
dsss issue.
I hope that dmd 1.031 will fix the anonymous classe bug and we can use the -lib
build flag to build a static dwt lib, dwtx.lib

tested with dwt-win svn, dwt-addons svn, dmd 1.028
build dwt.lib and dwtx.lib by dsss 0.75
testd on Windows XP


dwt helloworld:

code:

import dwt.widgets.Display;
import dwt.widgets.Shell;
pragma(lib, "dwt.lib");
pragma(lib, "dwtx.lib");
void main ()
{
    auto display = new Display;
    auto shell = new Shell(display);
    shell.setText = "Hello DWT World ";
    shell.open;
    while (!shell.isDisposed)
        if (!display.readAndDispatch)
            display.sleep;

    display.dispose;
}

build command:

dmd test.d dwt.res -L/SUBSYSTEM:windows:5 -L/rc:dwt.res -J..\dwt-samples\res
-J..\dwt-addons\res -release

executable size:
1.50 MB



Jface hello world

code:
import  
    dwt.widgets.Display,
    dwt.widgets.Shell,
    dwt.DWT,
    dwt.widgets.Control,
    dwt.widgets.Composite,
    dwt.widgets.Label,
    dwtx.jface.window.ApplicationWindow;

public class MyWindow : ApplicationWindow
{    
    this()
    {
        super(null);
    }
    void run()
    {        
        setBlockOnOpen(true);
        open();
        Display.getCurrent.dispose;
    }
    
    protected Control createContents(Composite parent)
    {
        auto label = new Label(parent, DWT.CENTER);
        label.setText("hello");
        return label;
    }
    
}

void main(char[][] args)
{
    (new MyWindow).run;
        
}  


executable size : 2.52 MB

Thanks for making this test.

Does it make a difference if you don't do the dwtx pragma in the 
dwt-only hello world?

this is my mistake, dwtx pragma is not necessary in the dwt-only hello world.

I tried building this, and got a 1.39 MB exe.  It's still quite big.  My
DWT application is 1.64 MB, which I don't see as a major problem.  So
the size difference isn't huge between a minimal app and a real app.

I built DWT (rev. 211) with dsss, with oneatatime=yes and only '-O
-release', no inlining. Then I build the app using bud, with inlining
enabled.  I don't know how much the inlining matters, since building dwt
takes 35 minutes on my pc, I haven't bothered to test much.  So I'm
really looking forward to dmd 1.031, with a usable -lib switch.

I can't seem to get a helloworld size nearly that small, so I assume I must 
be doing something differently.  Could you please try using ASpack from here 
(http://www.aspack.com/downloads.html) and test it on your helloworld example? 
 I'd like to see how small it shrinks.

Thanks!  Not that big of a difference from the old dwt executable sizes
afterall.
