Re: Questions about linking.

Minix 3 doesn't support dynamic linking; we don't even have a ld.so
Thanks for above help.

My other question is about static linking.

For example, if one library (i.e. liba.a) include two functions : f1( )
and f2( ), one object file which calls f1( ) is statically linked with
liba.a to get a executable, then is the f1( ) linked into the
executable or the whole liba.a ?

In other words, does the linker select the necessary stuff , not the
whole, to get the executable?
If so,is it applied to the LIB's global variables which are accessed by
a object file?

Are all the global variables which come from different object files
collected in the LIB's data segment by the linker ?

Thanks.
