Is there a small version of GCC for shipping with Windows program? Because Mingw installation takes frigging gigabyte, including a lot of bloat, like C++ and fortran compiler, with useless crap, like directx bindings.

>>81 That's true for any codebase that's as old and as widely scoped as GCC. This is true for Linux, the rest of GNU or any of the BSD systems. Software doesn't grow on trees, it happens because people invest their time into studying and developing it. This is the reason why enterprises advocate for the use of software patterns, reusable and composible modules (OO programming) and strict documentation demands because it's very normal for big software systems to be maintained and extended by developers who did not write the older system.
