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

And the factories they make rubbers in”
