Static Link Library and dynamic link library

Static Connection Library is to directly link the function code used in the (LIB) file to the target program. Other library files are no longer needed when the program is running; dynamic Link is to link the file module (DLL) where the called function is located and the location of the called function in the file to the target program. When the program is running, find the corresponding function code from the DLL, therefore, support for the corresponding DLL files is required.

Static and dynamic libraries share code, all commands in lib are directly included in the final generated EXE file. However, if a DLL is used, the DLL does not need to be included in the final EXE file. During execution of the EXE file, the DLL file can be dynamically referenced and detached. Another difference between a static link library and a dynamic link library is that the static Link Library cannot contain any other dynamic or static Link Library, other dynamic or static link libraries can be included in the dynamic link library.
