Dynamic or shared libraries occur as separate files outside of the executable files . Thus, it only needs one copy of the library’s files at runtime. At compile time, static libraries stay locked into a program. It contains the file’s programs holding a copy of the library’s files at compile time.
Read moreHow does a dynamic library work?
When a file is compiled with a dynamic library, instead of copying the actual object code contained in the library, the linker simply scans the code contained and checks for missing symbols .
Read moreHow do shared libraries work?
Static Libraries are linked into a compiled executable (or another library). After the compilation, the new artifact contains the static library’s content. Shared Libraries are loaded by the executable (or other shared library) at runtime .
Read moreWhat is shared library in C++?
A shared library is an object module that can be loaded at run time at an arbitrary memory address, and it can be linked to by a program in memory . Shared libraries often are called as shared objects. On most UNIX systems they are denoted with a . so suffix and Microsoft refer to them as DLLs (dynamic link libraries).

Read moreWhat are shared and static libraries?
Shared libraries are added during linking process when executable file and libraries are added to the memory . Static libraries are much bigger in size, because external programs are built in the executable file.
