Alexandre, instead using copy of the sames files can we use a static library for sharing this code ?
I'm afraid not, we can't create a separate static library every time we need to share some code between dlls, it doesn't scale.

How does it not scale? Surely copying code is worse from a scalability perspective?

What about building a static lib and linking it into both shared libs ?

It doesn't scale because if you have n dlls you potentially need n^2 static libraries to share code. Obviously we won't need all the combinations, but even a small fraction of that is going to create a big mess. It needs a *very* good reason to create a new library, and if it's just for sharing a couple of structure dumping functions it's not worth it.

You are right, but it this case i will copy this 2 sources for 5-6 dlls :(

Ok, but it's really boring :(
