- it is said that you can unload Objective-C modules (Page 104).

Yet, AFAIK, you can load a NSBundle but you can't unload it. So is it just an issue with NSBundle that can be worked around?


I've no idea if you can but I suspect that on modern machines you would very seldom actually need to do so since the code size of most programs is a very small fraction of their working set. In fact s o m e on this list might suggest it worrying about such memory consumption issues smacks of premature optimisation ;-)


Well, my interest is not in memory optimization. It's about being able to load a plug-in and be able to unload it. And if the code of the plug-in has been modified, be able to load it again and use the new code.

That's exactly what I wanted to do, too. But see: http://www.cocoabuilder.com/search/archive/cocoa?words=nsbundle+unload
