OT: dlopen

SDL Development
1

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the off topic post, but I really need help with this. How portable

is dlopen()? I mean, does it exist on Windows? If it does, does it work the
same way as the Unix one? If it does not, what are my options?

Thanks a lot!

Eduardo.

No, it doesn’t. The equivalent mechanism in Win32 is LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress().

Not very, it won’t exist on windows.

A undocumented and not exposed in the headers interface to SDL 1.2.5, is
SDL_LoadFunction, SDL_LoadObject, and SDL_UnloadObject, which will do
basicly a dlopen type thing on the various arches.

(IIRC, Sam did not want to change the binary interface, so created it,
but did not document or expose it.)

Don’t Snoop…

If the government wants us to respect the law, it should set a better
example.
