Disable exception handling and your code should shrink back down to normal.
 (Exception handling bloats the code.  Virtual functions bloat the code
more.  Templates bloat the code amazingly.)

My c++ programs use classes, but don't use throw or catch, don't use
virtual functions without a good reason (the destructor doesn't have to be
virtual if the class isn't going to be a base class), and NEVER use
templates.

My theory on that is "if I wanted to slap together a piece of garbage
in five minutes of programming time, I'd use visual basic.  The resulting
.exe would probably be over a megabyte."
