Linux Libraries comes in two forms: Static and shared.
Contents
Static Libraries
Static libraries link needed code from the object (.o) files or an archive of object files into the binary file.
Static example
Pack three files file1.c, file2.c and file3.c to libfilearchive.a
- file1.c is quite small
- file2.c contains a const array of one megabyte
- file3.c contains a const array of two megabyte
File1.c
//Author: Henrik Thomsen <heth@mercantec.dk>
//Name: file1.c
#include <stdio.h>
#define MB 1024*1024
void p1( void ) {
// Initialize 1MB array first and last member
// so we are sure the array is not truncated.
const char txt[MB];// = {[0]=0x0ff, [MB-1]=0xff };
printf("I am file1\n");
printf("txt is %d bytes\n", sizeof(txt) );
}
File2.c
//Author: Henrik Thomsen <heth@mercantec.dk>
//Name: file2.c
#include <stdio.h>
void p2( void ) {
printf("I am file2\n");
}
File3.c
//Author: Henrik Thomsen <heth@mercantec.dk>
//Name: file3.c
#include <stdio.h>
#define MB 1024*1024
void p3( void ) {
// Initialize 2MB array first and last member
// so we are sure the array is not truncated.
const char txt[MB*2] = {[0]=0x0ff, [sizeof(txt)-1]=0xff };
printf("I am file3\n");
printf("txt is %d bytes\n", sizeof(txt) );
}
Creating libfilearchive.a
Notice the size of the object files from and the size of the .a archivefile. It contains all three .o files.
[heth@localhost ]$ gcc -c file1.c
[heth@localhost ]$ gcc -c file2.c
[heth@localhost ]$ ar rc libfilearchive.a file1.o file2.o
[heth@localhost ]$ ls -l
