Optimizing C and C++ Windows binaries with SizeBench
One key to the modern application development life cycle is the toolchain: all the various applications and services that come together to deliver our own custom tools. They range from code generators that build scaffolding and deliver application frameworks, through IDEs and editors, to testing tools and continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. It’s often easy to get used to one set of tools, using them to the exclusion of everything else.That’s not a bad thing; it pays to get familiar with one set of keystrokes, building the muscle memory needed to get peak productivity. But if we get fixated on the tools we use, it’s possible to miss out on new ones that might go a long way to helping us deliver better code more quickly. So how do we find out about them?To read this article in full, please click here
