The linker just does bookkeeping, if there aren't symbols used, the
library won't be in the list.
Still, PE and ELF are older than the first C++ spec so, IFF your
reading of this chapter is correct, C++ is broken by design.
Not at all. Read "The Design and Evolution of C++", and you shall see
that requiring changes to the linker where necessary for sensible
behaviour was considered acceptable, and with good reason.
As in "we have a square wheels, let's make routes for them"...
Anyway is the book a standard? Is it available as pdf so you can point
me the exact paragraph?
