so im no good at C++, and was just wondering, is it possible to use just one function(like sprintf or sprintf_s) without including the whole iostream

im making a dll, and including iostream makes it go from 9 kb to 450kb, for a mere 3 uses of sprintf_s

is this at all possible?

Not sure in the case of C++ but in MASM when I had to do something similar, instead of including the entire library, I just copied the code and put it as a prototype function embedded in the app and called it from that.

Not sure if you are able to get the 'source' for that function though since I don't really code C++ yet.

i get what your saying, though i dont know how id go about get the source for it, very iffy

i can see why masm would be easier to do that sort of thing in, since you get right down to ASM, which could be done in C++, though with more difficulty

If you're linking the runtime library statically, do it dynamically.

well i might not even need that actually, all im trying to do is this:

GetStdHandle, GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo and FillConsoleOutputCharacter.

exactly thats why I recommend never use C++ wrappers, C++ fucked up C is much better but it doesn't mean you can't use C++'s new command other stuff like class'es then that.. all other shit is garbage.
Plus most big companies know this.. they code most popular games in C instead of C++ take for example Quake 4 coded completely in C.

you can tell that it's a C++ wrapper then it has no [b].h file[/h] at the end

instead of #include<iostream> I would use stdio which has sprintf() what is sprintf_s() anyways some copycat of sprintf()? your just bloating your project to do the same basic shit..
like fstream file opening.. would be the same as stdio's fopen() and it would be much faster.. and the size of your file would be like 20 KB instead of 80 KB..

anyways just try to get things done without those headers with no .h at end and it will be all good.. like the string class #include <string> its so useless you could just use char* name and keep size in a int and same results.. and 50KB less in file size.
