Static linking vs dynamic linking

Question

Are there any compelling performance reasons to choose static linking over dynamic linking or vice versa in certain situations? I\'ve heard or read the following, but I don\

Answer 1

Static linking is a process in compile time when a linked content is copied into the primary binary and becomes a single binary.

Cons:

• compile time is longer
• output binary is bigger

Dynamic linking is a process in runtime when a linked content is loaded. This technic allows to:

• upgrade linked binary without recompiling a primary one that increase an ABI stability[About]
• has a single shared copy

Cons:

• start time is slower(linked content should be copied)
• linker errors are thrown in runtime
