What does static linking against a library actually do?
- by Salgar
Say I had a library called libfoo which contained a class, a few static variables, possibly something with 'C' linkage, and a few other functions.
Now I have a main program which looks like this:
int main() {
return 5+5;
}
When I compile and link this, I link against libfoo.
Will this have any effect? Will my executable increase in size? If…
