I stumbled upon this:
http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/no_static_linking.html
and it made me think, maybe ultimate++ isn't all that good when it comes to dynamically linked stuff? several external packages are getting built statically into upp apps, upgrading them in the system will not upgrade them in u++.



Contra-argument is that upgrading them would not break existing apps... Smile

However, in POSIX, U++ is using external dynamically linked apps where possible (e.g. SSL, zlib, ...). What is not quite supported is e.g. transforming U++ itself into dynamic library. It is mostly because C++ API is relatively hard to maintain and we prefer modularity there.
