My library makes use of std::unordered_map and is also compiled with my dll. My question is; is there a way to keep it out of my dll and link it to the library containing the unordered map?

The
unordered_mapis a header only library, there is no binary library that can be linked at runtime that will provide it.Technically you can go out of your way to split the headers into declaration and definition, use the declaration for the dll, and then built a different dll with the explicit template instantiations that you used in the main dll, but that will not remove the need to provide the compiled
unordered_map, but rather split what you have as a single dll it in two.
