static link library
<p>I am writing a hello world c++ application, in the instruction #include  help the compiler or linker to import the c++ library. My " cout &lt;&lt; "hello world"; " use a cout in the library. The question is after compile and generated exe is about 96k in size, so what instructions are actually contained in this exe file, does this file also contains the iostream library?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
