  2. Dynamic-link library - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic-link_library

    A dynamic-link library (DLL) is a shared library in the Microsoft Windows or OS/2 operating system. A DLL can contain executable code (functions), data, and resources. A DLL file often has file extension.dll even though this is not required. The extension is sometimes used to describe the content of the file.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_linker

    Dynamic linking from Assembler language programs in IBM OS/360 and its successors is done typically using a LINK macro instruction containing a Supervisor Call instruction that activates the operating system routines that makes the library module to be linked available to the program. Library modules may reside in a "STEPLIB" or "JOBLIB ...

    Also, the executable must be linked to each static library that either contains the function code or more commonly defines runtime, dynamic linking to a system dynamic link library (DLL). Generally, for functions in a DLL named like Abc.dll, the program must be linked to a library named like Abc.lib. For MinGW, the library name is like libAbc ...

  5. Dynamic library - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_library

    A dynamic library is a library that contains functions and data that can be consumed by a computer program at run-time as loaded from a file separate from the program executable. Dynamic linking or late binding allows for using a dynamic library by linking program library references with the associated objects in the library either at load-time ...

  6. Shared library - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_library

    A program that is configured to use a library can use either static-linking or dynamic-linking.Historically, libraries could only be static. [4] For static-linking (), the library is effectively embedded into the programs executable file, while for dynamic-linking the library can be loaded at runtime from a shared location, such as system files.

    MSVCRT.DLL is the C standard library for the Visual C++ (MSVC) compiler from version 4.2 to 6.0. It provides programs compiled by these versions of MSVC with most of the standard C library functions. These include string manipulation, memory allocation, C-style input/output calls, and others. MSVCP*.DLL is the corresponding C++ library.

  8. DLL hell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLL_Hell

    DLL hell is an umbrella term for the complications that arise when one works with dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) used with older Microsoft Windows operating systems, [1] particularly legacy 16-bit editions, which all run in a single memory space. DLL hell can appear in many different ways, wherein affected programs may fail to run correctly, if ...

    For example, libfoo.so.2 might be version 2 of library foo and a link file named libfoo.so provides a version independent name to that file that programs link to. The link file could be changed to a refer to a version 3 (libfoo.so.3) such that consuming programs will then use version 3 without having to change the program.
