Contract bytecode generated by Hardhat is two times larger than generated by Foundry

[sergey-tuna]

I'm developing a contract using both hardhat and foundry. For some reason hardhat generates bytecode that is two times larger than the one generated in foundry. Why does it happen? How do I fix it?

}

Hey @makovkins, this is unexpected. Both Hardhat and Foundry are leveraging solc under the hood. They must be passing subtly different parameters in to solc but from the config you sent there is nothing obvious.

Is this repo open source?
