Hello List,
I'm writing an article about modern (Object) Pascal, but there is one
subject that I do not fully understand (for the article that is :)) and I
wish to be prepared for it.
Let's say that I write the following code:
program say_hello;
begin
writeln('Hello');
end.
This code is not linked to any shared library and therefor consider to be
static linked. However if I write the following code:
program say_helloworld;
begin
writeln('Hello World');
end.
They both have the same size and the same memory footprint.
So what exactly is going on ? Why does Pascal compiler generate static
linked executable while C/++ compiler will generate dynamic executable ?
What are the benefits in this approach and what are the bad things with it ?
Thanks,
Ido
