Questions tagged [static-linking]

A static library or statically-linked library is a set of routines, external functions and variables which are resolved in a caller at compile-time and copied into a target application by a compiler, linker, or binder, producing an object file and a stand-alone executable. This executable and the process of compiling it are both known as a static build of the program.

Since the dynamically linked libraries have to be resolved at run-time, are statically linked executables faster than dynamically linked executables?

Is there a way to determine which version of Visual Studio was used to compile a static library?

I have a collection of static libraries (.lib) files one of which may have been built with a different version of Visual Studio. This is causing the code generation of a project that links against all of them to fail. Is there any way to determine…

making gcc prefer static libs to shared objects when linking?

When linking against libraries using the -l option (say -lfoo), gcc will prefer a shared object to a static library if both are found (will prefer libfoo.so to libfoo.a). Is there a way to make gcc prefer the static library, if both are found? The…

What does the "rcs" option in ar do?

I did read the man file but it does not help. rcs seems to be the most popular option to pass to ar, but the meaning isn't so clear to me. So c means to create a new archive, but then why use r? which seems to stand for "replace"? What will the s…

How to force gcc to link unreferenced, static C++ objects from a library

I'm using a C++ library that can be built as either a shared or a static library. This library uses a factory technique, where static objects register themselves when the program starts and the static objects get created. This works fine as long as…
