Dynamic Library

IntelliJ IDEA (specifically PyCharm) is one of my favourite IDE of all time. That’s why I decided to take a look at this beautiful application and try to help the developer to find and (hopefully fix) some security issues with some knowledge I gained from attending EXP-312 course. So, let’s…

Extend Your Lifetime by Reducing Your Compile Time — Hello-hello, come again to my story, and this story will be different from my previous stories. Because finally, I made a story about Software Engineer stuff, whereas previously, I only shared my personal experiences and DevOps stuff. In this story, I will show you how to create and use a…

Linking is the process of combining multiple object files into one single executable. Static linking: // main.cpp int main() { foo() } // foo.cpp void foo() { cout << "Hi from foo!" << endl; } The main.cpp code calls a function in foo.cpp. The foo.cpp can be compiled into a…

As we make computer programs, we realize that some parts of the code are used in many of them. It would be great to be able to put those functions in a separate directory from the actual programs and have them already compiled, so that we can use them whenever…

In software development, it is wasteful for developers to write all functions themselves from scratch. Therefore, functions that are commonly used in various software are made available together in what is called a library. And by making good use of libraries, programming becomes easier. There are two types of libraries…

Static libraries vs. dynamic libraries: These are pre-compiled object codes which are used in the source code file to provide functionalities for a predefined function or user specified functions. …

When we write a program we rely on many user defined functions, we can also reuse them in other programs. In order for these functions to be accessible by multiple programs we rely on a dynamic library. So what is a dynamic library? A dynamic library is a file that contains multiple object codes, they were…

In the past, I wrote a similar story about using a dynamic library with C++ and Python but it was in Turkish. Please write a comment or do not hesitate to contact me on any social media account if you want to make me translate it. Today, we will try…

In this article I will talk about the differences between a static and a dynamic library and what makes them individually special. Let’s start first, what does a dynamic or static library have inside? Within them they have functions which are very important, since they are solutions already made beforehand as functions created by oneself to practice our skills. For example, “_abs”…
