Does static linking to STDLIB result in faster execution and loading?

I am creating a web site in Objective-C, running with CGI and Apache, and, because people don't have patience, I want to create it as fast as possible. So the main question: Does static linking result in faster loading than dynamic linking? Of course, the binary will be bigger, but.. the system has to read less files. P.S. I do care...

How to determine which object files are actually necessary for linking?

I had to modify some open source code to use in a C project. Instead of building a library from the modified code, I'd like to just compile and build an executable from my own source combined with the modified open source code. The goal is to have a stand-alone package that can be distributed. I can get this to work just fine using th...

Need help with understanding compilation of C++ programs..

Hi, I don't properly understand compilation and linking of C++ programs. Is there a way, I can look at object files generated by compiling a C++ program(in an understandable format). This should help me understand format of object files, how C++ classes are compiled, what information is needed by compiler to generate object files and he...

How can adding a function call cause other symbols to become undefined when linking?

Hey Guys, I'm hoping someone will be able to help troubleshoot what I think is a linker script issue. I'm encountering a strange problem after adding a call to a new function. Without the function call, my object files link correctly, however, with the new function call added, I get an undefined reference to a symbol from another object...

What compiler tools are used by "official" language developers?

There are many lexical analyzer and parser generators out there - lex/flex and yacc/bison, jflex and javacup, gplex and gppg, etc. I'm wondering what tools are used by the official developers of languages - do Sun and Microsoft use any of these in developing Java and .NET, or do shops of that size use only custom internal tools? ...

Cross compile for .NET 4 and Silverlight 4 in VS2010 without duplicating files

We have a large number of projects within a solution mostly simple class libraries (which are later loaded through MEF) targetting .NET 4.0. We would like to compile a large number of these for both .NET 4.0 and the Silverlight runtime without duplicating files. Is there a way to create a new Silverlight class library and link the sour...

How to speed up g++ compile time (when using a lot of templates)

This question is perhaps somehow odd, but how can I speed up g++ compile time? My C++ code heavily uses boost and templates. I already moved as much as possible out of the headers files and use the -j option, but still it takes quite a while to compile (and link). Are there any tools out there which analyse my code and point out bottle-...

Automatically rebuild referenced Class Libraries (DLLs) in VS2010?

I have an executable project A, which references to a Class Library project B. However, when I build A, it does not automatically rebuild B.
