No, that would be static linking. Dynamic linking involves LoadLibrary
and GetProcAddress API calls (since you mention DLLs, I assume you are
talking about Windows; other OSes provide similar facilities) and occurs
entirely at runtime.

We don't, so it's there.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
