writing a library

[amit]

Hi all,

I'm going to write a library for the first time. Can you please drop me
some links or any advice you may have?

Thanks

In it's simplest form, a library is simply a *.cpp and a *.h file that
you include with your other files. The *.h file gets included along
with all the other headers and the *.cpp file gets linked to your code.

code.

Er, the *.cpp file gets _compiled_ into your executable. I was a bit
lazy in my choice of words.

I mean, the library I'm going to write would be big since I need to add
hundered of line (func and class).
Should I put them in one CPP file or can have multiple .cpp and .h
files?

You should definately group you classes and or functions in different
files!! (.cpp & .h)

You could do the further or the later or you could search your toolkit
if it contains a 'librarian'. Most systems come with one (I don't know
any that doesn't). The librarian organizes multiple compiled files in
a library. You then just link the executable with that library.

The above sounds more complicated then it really is.
