Creating a Library From VisualDSP++

Within the VisualDSP++ development environment, you can choose to
create a library file as your project's output. To do so, specify DSP library
file as the target type on the Project page of the Project Options dialog
box.
VisualDSP++ writes its output to
the contents of a library file or perform any other operations on it, run the

Making Archived Functions Usable

In order to use the archiver effectively, you must know how to write
archive files, which make your DSP functions available to your code (via
the linker), and how to write code that accesses these archives.
Archive usage consists of two tasks:
• Writing archive routines , functions that can be called from other
programs
• Accessing archive routines from your code
