This class provides a portable interface to dynamic libraries which also might be known as shared libraries, shared objects, dynamic shared objects, or dynamic link libraries. Regardless of the terminology or the operating system interface, this class provides a portable interface that allows dynamic libraries to be loaded and and searched for externally defined symbols. This is typically used to provide "plug-in" support. It also allows for symbols to be defined which don't live in any library, but rather the main program itself, useful on Windows where the main executable cannot be searched.

DynamicLibrary::DynamicLibrary | ( | ) |
Open program as dynamic library.
Construct a DynamicLibrary that represents the currently executing program. The program must have been linked with -export-dynamic or -dlopen self for this to work. Any symbols retrieved with the GetAddressOfSymbol function will refer to the program not to any library.

DynamicLibrary::DynamicLibrary | ( | const char * | filename | ) |
Open a dynamic library.
This is the constructor for DynamicLibrary instances. It will open the dynamic library specified by the Path.

DynamicLibrary::~DynamicLibrary | ( | ) |
Closes the DynamicLibrary.
After destruction, the symbols of the library will no longer be available to the program. It is important to make sure the lifespan of a DynamicLibrary exceeds the lifetime of the pointers returned by the GetAddressOfSymbol otherwise the program may walk off into uncharted territory.

void llvm::sys::DynamicLibrary::AddSymbol | ( | const char * | symbolName, | |
void * | symbolValue | |||

Add searchable symbol/value pair.
This functions permanently adds the symbol symbolName
with the value symbolValue
. These symbols are searched before any libraries.

References GetAddressOfSymbol().
void * DynamicLibrary::GetAddressOfSymbol | ( | const char * | symbolName | ) |
Get the address of a symbol in the DynamicLibrary.
Looks up a symbolName
in the DynamicLibrary and returns its address if it exists. If the symbol does not exist, returns (void*)0.

void DynamicLibrary::LoadLibraryPermanently | ( | const char * | filename | ) | [static] |
Open a dynamic library permanently.
This function allows a library to be loaded without instantiating a DynamicLibrary object. Consequently, it is marked as being permanent and will only be unloaded when the program terminates.

References SearchForAddressOfSymbol().
void * DynamicLibrary::SearchForAddressOfSymbol | ( | const char * | symbolName | ) | [static] |
Search through libraries for address of a symbol.
This function will search through all previously loaded dynamic libraries for the symbol symbolName
. If it is found, the addressof that symbol is returned. If not, null is returned. Note that this will search permanently loaded libraries (LoadLibraryPermanently) as well as ephemerally loaded libraries (constructors).
