Hi.
I added today that unit I was talking about a week before, to an
existing project.
I just added the unit to the uses clause and nothing more! I did not
used any of its procedures or functions.
The size of the exe file jumped from 409600 to 542800 bytes. The size of
the compiled unit is 100KB.
What it is wrong? The size of my EXE should not increase since I used no
functions/procedures from that unit.
The header of that unit is something like:
UNIT MyTpu;
interface
uses Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls,
Forms,
Dialogs, StdCtrls, Registry, ShellApi, mmSystem, ComObj, JPEG,
DateUtils,
IniFiles, FileCtrl, ShlObj, ActiveX, SHFolder, ClipBrd, ImageHlp,
WinSock,
FastStrings, UnitEmailVerifier, CubTPU_ext;
const
...
