- use wxDynamicLibrary instead.
-
- wxDllLoader is a class providing an interface similar to Unix's @c dlopen(). It
- is used by the wxLibrary framework and manages the actual
- loading of shared libraries and the resolving of symbols in them. There are no
- instances of this class, it simply serves as a namespace for its static member
- functions.
-
- Please note that class wxDynamicLibrary provides
- alternative, friendlier interface to wxDllLoader.
-
- The terms @e DLL and @e shared library/object will both be used in the
- documentation to refer to the same thing: a @c .dll file under Windows or
- @c .so or @c .sl one under Unix.
-
- Example of using this class to dynamically load the @c strlen() function:
-
- @code
- #if defined(__WXMSW__)
- static const wxChar *LIB_NAME = _T("kernel32");
- static const wxChar *FUNC_NAME = _T("lstrlenA");
- #elif defined(__UNIX__)
- static const wxChar *LIB_NAME = _T("/lib/libc-2.0.7.so");
- static const wxChar *FUNC_NAME = _T("strlen");
- #endif
-
- wxDllType dllHandle = wxDllLoader::LoadLibrary(LIB_NAME);
- if ( !dllHandle )
- {
- ... error ...
- }
- else
- {
- typedef int (*strlenType)(char *);
- strlenType pfnStrlen = (strlenType)wxDllLoader::GetSymbol(dllHandle,
- FUNC_NAME);
- if ( !pfnStrlen )
- {
- ... error ...
- }
- else
- {
- if ( pfnStrlen("foo") != 3 )
- {
- ... error ...
- }
