C++ - share a library among dynamic libraries

Question

I developed a C++ modular program which loads its modules dynamically. Each module needs a specific static library and I linked this static library to each module. Is there any way to share this static library among all modules without linking it to them separately?

Yes, it is possible. Instead of static library, create dynamic library (so on *nix or dll on Windows) and link your modules against this dynamic lib.

@peter It will be loaded into memory just one time. – ScottMcP-MVP Mar 15 '15 at 17:08
