static-libraries

First I'll explain the big picture : I am creating an application where I separated most of the features in different libraries. One of them contains some classes that use curl. I actually use Ubuntu 64 bit to develop and test it, but my production environment is a NAS with an ARM processor. I intend to, later, also make it for windows. Where I am now : My application is running on linux and the ARM-based NAS. However, I don't link with curl, I use curl from command-line internally to do what I need. This has some drawbacks : As a programmer, I consider it an ugly practice. I should link to

When I write and compile a lib file in VS2010 I am missing something. I somehow do not mark them correctly for export. The console command dumpbin.exe -headers mylib.lib > stackoverflow.txt generates the following output.

When I try to compile a test console application to test some functionality on a static library on the same workspace, i run into problems in the linking stage of the binary, it only happen when I choose to use libc++ standard library. The missing symbols error is the follow : Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> >::empty() const", referenced from: libtorrent::torrent::replace_trackers(std::__1::vector<libtorrent::announce_entry, std::__1::allocator<libtorrent::announce_entry> > const&) in

I have a big iOS project that consists from several (about 20-30) static libraries that link together into final executable. Some of the components are platform-independent (pure C++) and some are iOS-specific (Obj-C/Obj-C++). C++ templates are used intensively, so each object file contains lots of symbols with vague linkage. The problem is that these symbols are merged only during linking of the final executable, but not when making static libraries. Each library contains tons of duplicated symbols (6-60 clones). So final linking of the app takes several minutes. This becomes extremely

Is it possible to use a C++ static library (.lib) compiled using Visual Studio 6 in Visual Studio 2008? I shouldn't think why not - as long as you keep the usual CRT memory boundaries (ie if you allocate memory inside a library function, always free it from inside the library - by calling a function in the lib to do the freeing). this approach works fine for dlls compiled with all kinds of compilers, statically linked libs should be ok too. It really depends. Does the lib expose only 'extern "C"' functions where memory is either managed by straight Win32 methods (CoTaskMemAlloc, etc) or the

I have a static library of functions written in C. Let's say the header file is called myHeader.h and looks like: #ifndef MYHEADER_H #define MYHEADER_H void function1(); void function2(); #endif function1 and function2 aren't anything too special. Let's say they exist in a file called impl1.c which looks like: #include "myHeader.h" void function1() { // code } void function2() { // more code } All of the code mentioned so far is compiled into some static library called libMyLib.a. I'd rather not modify any of the code used to build this library. I also have a C++ header (cppHeader.h) that
