1Terminology • Shared Library: • Shared Object, Dynamic Object, Dynamic Shared Object (DSO), Dynamic Load Library (DLL), Dynamic Shared Library • Binary: • Executable / Shared Library , Component cause ODR violation errors. • Speculated motivation: • In the elden days the canonical example of shared-lib was libc. Users may reasonably wish to override implementations. 15foo Library Search Order After exe, before any lib 16 exe lib1 lib2 lib3 lib4 lib5 preload_lib1C++ Implication #1: Can a shared-library symbol be overridden from an executable? • Windows: • No. • Linux: • Yes. • Mac: •

Shared Libraries and Where to Find Them R&D Team Lead, JFrogIntroduction From the point of view of a C++ developer, compiled code typically ends up in either: ● The executables themselves ● Static Static libraries ● Shared libraries Libraries* are a vehicle for “reusable” code code that can be invoked by other libraries or applications (even from other languages) * libraries: not defined by the standard meanings…How developers deal with shared librariesAbout this talk ● What this talk covers: ○ WHEN shared libraries are needed ○ WHICH programs needs to locate shared libraries ○ TOOLS to query, troubleshoot

computing, including systems, programming languages, software [tile] DB libraries, and large-scale graph analytics. Open-source software projects resulting from his work include practical (concrete) problems -theory reuse *，Goes hand-in-glove with goals of generic software libraries Graphs Are Ubiduitous SS Degrees of Kevin Bacon) 。Towards standardization 。Lessons Learned Generic Programming and Generic Libraries *，Generic programming is a sub-discipline of computer science that deals with finding abstract

1October 3, 2023 2 Libraries: A First Step Toward Standard C++ Dependency Management Bret Brown, C++ Infrastructure Lead, Bloomberg Bill Hoffman, CTO, KitwareHello! Welcome! Bret Brown C++ Infrastructure Metadata file(s) to declare those contents ● Modest tool interop requirements In short, declaring libraries installed on a filesystem 6Goals ● ✓ A first step towards a robust packaging ecosystem ● ✓ Explicit too hard Q: Which of these do you find frustrating about C++ development? ● 82% – Managing the libraries my application depends on ● 80% – Build times ● 71% – Setting up CI pipelines from scratch ●

(IPython) ○ Jupyter notebooks provide a great research environment ○ Very mature open source libraries for various domains Why C++? ● We’re at CppCon :) Why Python? Why C++?● Why? ○ Avoid reimplementing Performance ○ Back and forth with user’s python code ○ Interoperability with data structures in Python - shared memory space ● How? ○ Python/C API ○ Cython ○ Numba / PyPy ○ Boost::Python ○ Pybind11 ○ cppyy "cy.h": int cpp_increment(int x) def cy_increment(x): return cpp_increment(x)Various libraries to “speed up” python Focus of this talkPerformanceSome perf numbers: per increment runtime Take
