static library vs dynamic libraries
- by user295030
Can someone please explain in easy terms what is static library linking vs dynamic library linking other one has a larger memory map than the other or that the static library is used to compile/link with the program that will use it versus being loaded at runtime?
I also need to create a static library of a program that I made in vs2008 and give one function interface to access the library.
one of the requirements reads as such
" * API should be in the form of static library. company xxx will link the library into a third party application to prevent any possible exposure of the code(dll)"
how can they say both static and dll at the same time. I have never works with static library before. So please any help would be nice.
