Setting Up a Static Link to the Registrar Code (C++ Only)

 

The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at Setting Up a Static Link to the Registrar Code (C++ Only).

C++ clients can create a static link to the Registrar's code. Static linking of the Registrar's parser adds approximately 5K to a release build.

The simplest way to set up static linking assumes you have specified DECLARE_REGISTRY_RESOURCEID in your object's declaration. (This is the default specification used by the ATL.)

  1. Specify /D_ATL_STATIC_REGISTRY instead of /D**_ATL_DLL**.

  2. Recompile.
