Dear all,

Just curious. Say, when someone send me an GUI application. How can i know if that application is built/developed using ultimate++.

Because, when i doing ldd (under Linux) or using dependency walker (under Windows), i can not see any indicator of ultimate++ usage.

Is it done on purpose Smile

?

Please advice,
JE

U++ is designed for static linking, that is why you do not see dependency. So yes, it is on purpose, but the purpose is avoiding dll hell in this case... Smile

I think you could "detect" U++ app based on this (no dynamic dependecies) and perhaps on some GUI specifics...
