Hi!


On average, how much bigger the code generated by C++ compiler than C
compiler? Well, you may answer that this depends which compiler is
used and what C++ features are used. Assume we have C code, we use
both C++ and C compiler. Is the size of the generated code supposed to
be same?


If the answer is positive. Then here is the interesting question:
How much overhead we have to pay if we need:
1. inheritance?
2. virtual functions?
3. template?
