Rainmaker is Rich III:
The Bloat Report
The following is the bloat report for MemTurbo. Text in red is additional clarification.
Bloat Report for MemTurbo.exe
=============================
Full path: D:\Program Files\Silicon Prairie Software\MemTurbo\MemTurbo.exe
Image size (bytes): 532480
File alignment (bytes): 4096
This is a blight:
The linker flag '/opt:noWin98' should have been used.
This means that every section in this executable is padded with
three thousand five hundred eighty four useless bytes of zeroes.
Data Directories
================
IAT 1620
IMPORT 260
RESOURCE 226864
Yes, lots of 'resources' -
but is this suitable for a memory optimizer?
You be the judge.
Debug Info
==========
Dependencies
============
ADVAPI32.dll D:\WINNT\System32\ADVAPI32.dll
COMCTL32.dll D:\WINNT\System32\COMCTL32.dll
comdlg32.dll D:\WINNT\System32\comdlg32.dll
GDI32.dll D:\WINNT\System32\GDI32.dll
KERNEL32.dll D:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
MSVCRT.dll D:\WINNT\System32\MSVCRT.dll
ntdll.dll D:\WINNT\System32\ntdll.dll
ole32.dll D:\WINNT\System32\ole32.dll
OLEAUT32.dll D:\WINNT\System32\OLEAUT32.dll
oledlg.dll D:\WINNT\System32\oledlg.dll

SHELL32.dll D:\WINNT\System32\SHELL32.dll
USER32.dll D:\WINNT\System32\USER32.dll
WINSPOOL.DRV D:\WINNT\System32\WINSPOOL.DRV
Incremental Linking
===================
.text 620
Indicates the presence of C++.
Runtime Conflicts
=================
Sections
========
.data c0000040 12288
.rdata 40000040 61440
.rsrc 40000040 229376
Again, we see the preponderance of 200KB of resources.
But we were supposed to free memory, and not gobble it up?
Or were we?
.text 60000020 204800
Lots and lots and lots of code -
And, as we shall see, mostly for the MFC skeleton.
Most of this code is never used.
Strings
=======
Afx 8
C3d 7
CLSID\ 15
GetProcAddress 1
InprocHandler 1
LoadLibrary 1
LocalServer 1
ProgID 3
RegCreateKey 1
Software\ 1
TerminateProcess 1
Visual C++ Runtime Library 1
WritePrivateProfileString 1
A very messy business indeed.
This proves the presence of the MFC (Afx),
but what's worse, it also shows us that this
application will trash our Registry (CLSID\, Software\).
The presence of WritePrivateProfileString is typical
for MFC skeletons - however no INI files are used.
It's just more 'code bloat'.
Note as well that the Microsoft runtime is linked
both statically and dynamically - a sure sign of waste
if there ever was one.
Uninitialized Data
==================
Unoptimized Code
================
.text 5
Again, a sign that C++ is in use.
The bloat report demonstrates that the code and the resources for this application are humungoid - what more can we find out?
