  • Patent number: 7890944
    Abstract: A method for sharing static link codes by software components in a dynamic link library (DLL) and a main program. First, the main program links to a static link library (SLL) and creates function pointers and variable pointers in the DLLs corresponding to the SLL. Next, the functions of a DLL program code associated with calling the SLL are changed into corresponding function pointers. Next, the variables of the DLL program code associated with calling the SLL are changed into corresponding variable pointers. Finally, the main program and the DLLs are compiled into the respective program codes, wherein the functions and variables associated with a DLL are obtained via the pointers. When the DLL is loaded in the main program, the memory addresses of the functions and variables for calling and corresponding to the SLL are passed to the DLL to share the static link codes with the main program.
