其他人已经充分解释了静态库是什么，但我想指出一些使用静态库的注意事项，至少在Windows上:

Singletons: If something needs to be global/static and unique, be very careful about putting it in a static library. If multiple DLLs are linked against that static library they will each get their own copy of the singleton. However, if your application is a single EXE with no custom DLLs, this may not be a problem. Unreferenced code removal: When you link against a static library, only the parts of the static library that are referenced by your DLL/EXE will get linked into your DLL/EXE. For example, if mylib.lib contains a.obj and b.obj and your DLL/EXE only references functions or variables from a.obj, the entirety of b.obj will get discarded by the linker. If b.obj contains global/static objects, their constructors and destructors will not get executed. If those constructors/destructors have side effects, you may be disappointed by their absence. Likewise, if the static library contains special entrypoints you may need to take care that they are actually included. An example of this in embedded programming (okay, not Windows) would be an interrupt handler that is marked as being at a specific address. You also need to mark the interrupt handler as an entrypoint to make sure it doesn't get discarded. Another consequence of this is that a static library may contain object files that are completely unusable due to unresolved references, but it won't cause a linker error until you reference a function or variable from those object files. This may happen long after the library is written. Debug symbols: You may want a separate PDB for each static library, or you may want the debug symbols to be placed in the object files so that they get rolled into the PDB for the DLL/EXE. The Visual C++ documentation explains the necessary options. RTTI: You may end up with multiple type_info objects for the same class if you link a single static library into multiple DLLs. If your program assumes that type_info is "singleton" data and uses &typeid() or type_info::before(), you may get undesirable and surprising results.

库是绑定在应用程序可执行文件中的代码单元。

dll是可执行代码的独立单元。只有在对该代码进行调用时，才会在流程中加载它。一个dll可以被多个应用程序使用并加载在多个进程中，而在硬盘驱动器上仍然只有一个代码副本。

Dll优点:可用于多个产品之间重用/共享代码;按需装入进程内存，不需要时可卸载;可以独立于程序的其余部分进行升级。

Dll缺点:Dll加载和代码重基的性能影响;版本控制问题(“dll地狱”)

Lib优点:没有性能影响，因为代码总是在进程中加载，而不是重基;没有版本问题。

Lib缺点:可执行文件/进程“膨胀”-所有的代码都在你的可执行文件中，并在进程启动时加载;没有重用/共享-每个产品都有自己的代码副本。

我给出一个一般的经验法则，如果你有一个很大的代码库，所有的代码库都建立在较低层次的库(例如Utils或Gui框架)之上，你想把它们划分成更易于管理的库，然后让它们成为静态库。动态库实际上不会为您带来任何东西，而且惊喜也更少——单个实例只有一个实例。

如果你有一个完全独立于其他代码库的库(例如第三方库)，那么考虑将其作为一个dll。如果库是LGPL，由于许可条件，您可能无论如何都需要使用dll。

它包含了所有的好处，包括能够插入插入库。关于插入的更多细节可以在这篇文章中找到。
