MSVC compiler / linker options to disable unwanted C++ features
I am developing a game from the ground up as a educational platform.
I am developing in C, however, there are SDKs that I would like to use which are C++ only,
e.g GLM for math. NVdia Physx or Bullet SDk for physics.
So I am porting the code to C++, to be able to use these SDKs, but it would be more of C with classes kind of approach.
So no templates, no exceptions, no polymorphism, minimal use of STL, e.g. vector class.
I have no knowledge of compiler optimization.
Just read about the disable exceptions flag, which I am guessing would remove the exceptions handler from the compiled code, thereby removing unwanted bloat, making the exe fast (wild guess)
Would like to know if there other flags / options that I would need to consider to get the maximum performance.
