Size of pyarmor_runtime.pyd since Pyarmor v8.2.3

[joonis]

Since Pyarmor v8.2.3 the size of pyarmor_runtime.pyd (windows.x86_64) is 4.7 MB, before it was around 615 KB.

Is this normal?

[jondy]

Yes. This is Themida enabled extension, --enable-themida is implemented in v8.2.3. It's bigger and slower.

If not enable themida, it should be around 500k.

Look the file size in the /path/to/pyarmor/cli/core

[joonis]

I did not enable Themida (whether by cfg nor by cli option), but got the huge file...

[jondy]

It's a bug, I'll fix it in next release.

As a quick workaround, apply this patch

Don't know if it works directly under Windows. But it does not work under Linux with --platform windows.x86_64.

This patch should not work with cross platform build, anyway, please upgrade to Pyarmor 8.2.4 to fix this issue
