Which of the following statements regarding a C/C++ standard library is FALSE?
Which of the following statements regarding a C/C++ standard library is FALSE?
Multiple Choice Options
- A
Standard library functions are precompiled into archive or shared object files
- B
Standard libraries provide standard reusable algorithms, data structures, and I/O routines
- C✓ Correct Option
Standard library functions do not require linking by the linker
- D
Standard libraries save development time and improve software portability
Detailed Technical Solution & Explanation
Standard library functions MUST be linked into the final executable by the linker—either statically (linking .a / .lib files into the binary) or dynamically (linking stub symbols to .so / .dll libraries at runtime). Saying they do not require linking is FALSE.
Option Analysis:
•
Option A (Standard library functions are precom...): True; standard libraries are shipped in precompiled binary format.
•
Option B (Standard libraries provide standard r...): True; provides cross-platform math, I/O, string routines.
•
Option C (Standard library functions do not req...): Correct (this statement is FALSE). The linker must resolve external references to library routines.
•
Option D (Standard libraries save development t...): True; standard components prevent reinventing the wheel.
