What is compiled?

Hi I was just wondering, when an exe is compiled, are the entire contents of a PBLib/Userlib compiled if only one or two commands from that lib are used? Or does it only use the ones that are called?

Just one of those questions thats pestering me at the back of my head

i think it depends on the lib, for example the lib MathExtras by El_Choni
will only export the functions that are used in the program.

PB libs are splitted, so only the used commands are included,
for the userlibs, it depends on wether they were written to support that or not.

In laymans terms how would you write a lib to support this?

Good question Kale

i think you need to compile each function in your lib separtely into obj files, then invoke lcclib (or equivalent) to build a lib file.
then you run LibraryMaker (Library SDK folder) to make a PB lib.

Actually you have to put every function into a seperate .obj file, and combine
them into a .lib file, as jack has allready said, that's all.
