Large exe file

[Guest]

Hi,

I've written a somewhat large program over the years (70.000 lines of code).
When compiling the program I get a 2MB exe file. When running this program I
get an corresponding image in the task manager showing a 40 MB memory
allocation . Yes, the program allocates memory dynamicaly, but no where near
this amout of memory. Of cause I expect some .net stuff is probably also
contained in this allocation. However, if reinstantiating the program several
times, every instance (shown in the task manager) is showing a memory usage
of around 40-50 MB. I thought that code was shared in such scenarios in order
to save memory space.

Q: What si happening in .net?

Q: Is there any flag/compiler option that I can check/uncheck to a smaller
memory allocation.

Best regards
Jesper, Denmark

Hello Denmark,

..NET uses virtual memmory and allocation performs in blocks which size is
32/64mb.
I see no reason to change working set for app and allow framework to manage
memmory by default settings.
