hi all

i have an application and i use the static linking of some lib file. as
i understand the static linking , the code will the INJECTED into my
exe rather than being picked from the dll at the run time due to the
static linking.

however i want to know from where in the lib file the code comes from
(the one that gets injected into exe file)??? does the lib file
contains the code for the exported functions or it contains only the
imported and exported functions ?

thanks
