Does anyone sell static libraries anymore? There are too many problems
with static linking for that to be very viable. Most libraries I've seen
are sold as DLLs.
I don't know about selling, but (for instance) NVIDIA's CUDA shipped as a
pair of static and dynamic libraries. For a long time, runtime linking
wasn't possible with however they did the DLLs so you had to use the
static libs.
But, whole program/escape analysis also has to have access to the DLL's
source code, to work, since it has to check/know what each function does
with its input arguments.
