[Dev-C++] Basics on static libs

[Michael S. <mic...@nu...>]

Hi,
=20
I=B4ve al little basic questions concerning static libs (.dll or .so).
The apps link with an import library which on runtime dynamically =
imports
the functions from the dll, don=B4t they.
The main thing I=B4d to know is that I=B4ve heard of multiple apps =
sharing the
same .dll if appropriate. So if I have global vars in the .dll code, are
they
shared among all apps linking to the .dll, or does every app have it=B4s =
own
"copy" of the data inside the .dll?
In my example I=B4ve apps linking with the wx GUI library dynamically. =
Some of
them use plugin .dlls which themselvbes link dynamically against wx.
wx has globals in it, and I=B4ve noticed that the plugins can work and =
call wx
functions without problems.
But if I had multiple wx apps running at once they would interfere with =
each
other...
Could someone explain this basics to me a bit?
