No. Linkers combine object files and library files, which are collections of object files. All source files need to be compiled to object files.
Visual source safe is a small program that helps you developed projects. And yes, visual source safe does create a virtual library of computer files.
f you have a bunch of files that contain just functions, you can turn these source files into libraries that can be used statically or dynamically by programs. This is good for program modularity, and code re-use. Write Once, Use Many.A library is basically just an archive of object files
They get deleted with the library

JAR files (Java ARchive) allows aggregating many files into one, it is usually used to hold Java classes in a library. i.e. Math.jarWAR files (Web Application aRchive) stores XML, java classes, and JavaServer pages for Web Application purposes.EAR files (Enterprise ARchive) combines JAR and WAR files to make a combined archive for Enterprise Applications.
Object files are intermediate files generated when an application is constructed from source code. In a classic compile-assemble-link toolchain, the compiler translates (C language) source code into assembly language output. The assembler translates this intermediate assembly source into a binary form known as object code. Files containing object code often have a .o or .obj file name extension and are generally called object files. The linker takes the object files and combines them into the complete executable.While many modern tools hide the individual steps, or even integrate compilation and assembly into one, most (all?) compilers generate object files.

It depends on the header file and on the general organization of the project. System header files, such as stdio.h or windows.h, are stored in a directory that the compiler knows about, but that you don't need to even think about. Library header files are either stored in the same place that system header files are stored, or they are stored in a place reserved for the particular library. In the latter case, there will usually be build parameters that identify the header files and their associated library files. User header files are either stored in the same directory as the source files, or they can be stored in a related directory, somewhere in the project directory tree. well in most of the DOS/Windows C/C++ compilers predefined header files are stored in INCLUDE directory of the folder containing the compiler
