Overview of linking and shared V threads::ThreadsS static libraries

In the context of C and C++ development, third-party entities are external libraries or frameworks that developers integrate into their projects. These entities serve to improve functionality or utilize existing solutions. These third-party components can vary significantly in scope, from minimal utility libraries to comprehensive frameworks offering a broad range of features.

The process of integrating third-party libraries into a project involves using header files that outline the interfaces of these libraries. These header files contain the declarations of classes, functions, and variables provided by the library, allowing the compiler to understand the required signatures and structures for successful compilation. Including a header file in a C++ source file essentially concatenates the contents of the header file to the point of inclusion, enabling access to the library’s interfaces without embedding...
