Shared Library

To link with a static archive library , every executable internally will include a copy of the archive, and when the execubale is loaded the archive will aslo be loaded into memory as well; This makes the archive be impractical for larger project since multiple copies of archive will be saved into disk and memory; If all the programs could share a single copy of the library routines they use, the saving will be significant;
