Can a C++ Static Library link to shared library?

Question

Say I have a static C++ lib, static.lib and I want to call some functions from a C++ shared lib, say shared.lib. Is it possible?

Now assume that I have another shared li

Answer 1

The linker will not automatically bring in the other libraries, but you can use #pragma comment (lib, "static.lib") to simplify the process of linking the additional files by adding the pragma to your header files.
