* # CategorySharedObject
|
|
*
|
|
* System-dependent library loading routines.
|
|
*
|
|
* Shared objects are code that is programmatically loadable at runtime.
|
|
* Windows calls these "DLLs", Linux calls them "shared libraries", etc.
|
|
*
|
|
* To use them, build such a library, then call SDL_LoadObject() on it. Once
|
|
* loaded, you can use SDL_LoadFunction() on that object to find the address
|
|
* of its exported symbols. When done with the object, call SDL_UnloadObject()
|
|
* to dispose of it.
|
|
*
|
|
* Some things to keep in mind:
|
|
*
|
|
* - These functions only work on C function names. Other languages may have
|
|
* name mangling and intrinsic language support that varies from compiler to
|
|
* compiler.
|
|
* - Make sure you declare your function pointers with the same calling
|
|
* convention as the actual library function. Your code will crash
|
|
* mysteriously if you do not do this.
|
|
* - Avoid namespace collisions. If you load a symbol from the library, it is
|
|
* not defined whether or not it goes into the global symbol namespace for
|
|
* the application. If it does and it conflicts with symbols in your code or
|
|
* other shared libraries, you will not get the results you expect. :)
|
|
* - Once a library is unloaded, all pointers into it obtained through
|
|
* SDL_LoadFunction() become invalid, even if the library is later reloaded.
|
|
* Don't unload a library if you plan to use these pointers in the future.
|
|
* Notably: beware of giving one of these pointers to atexit(), since it may
|
|
* call that pointer after the library unloads.
