Creating Static Libraries in C/C++
Static libraries can be easily created in C or in C++. These two languages provide storage-class specifiers for indicating external or internal linkage, in addition to providing other features.
To create such a library, the exported functions/procedures and other objects variables must be specified for external linkage (i.e. by not using the C static keyword).
Static libraries usually have a ".lib" extension on Windows and a ".a" on UNIX

Famous quotes containing the words creating and/or libraries:
“It is quite true, as some poets said, that the God who created man must have had a sinister sense of humor, creating him a reasonable being, yet forcing him to take this ridiculous posture, and driving him with blind craving for this ridiculous performance.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“riding flatcars to Fresno,
Across the whole country
Steep towns, flat towns, even New York,
And oceans and Europe & libraries & galleries
And the factories they make rubbers in”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
