On all versions of darwin so far, it is suggested that code which is designed to be runtime loaded be linked with the -bundle option to cc (ld). If, however, you are in a situation where the code must be used as input to ld(1) and must also be runtime loaded, then it is okay on Mac OS X 10.1 and later to use dylibs. There is no api to load dylibs on Mac OS X 10.0.x and 10.4 does the job much better than previous attempts. There is a bug somewhere asking for reference counting of loaded dylibs which will allow for dynamic shared libraries to be unloaded, at present only bundles may be unloaded. This is not usually a big issue, but it depends on your app. Hope this helps, Peter -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBQuJR9biDAg3OZTLPAQIXXAP+OHM5SKRxjCSXhXCYaLGNL8EO8QFYDu84 I6DpYxE8pwSh/4JtXj5tCzkdqv6DlzcPQByYUVvS8S6czSW7pb784DPNkgWN8PvC m8ezbQ+v/jhTD1ZgEJAfxBgEfBBI7IE1495RH5//wShc0eln5eONM3SLJNvmqD1q RkAt6mexMbE= =X6+h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
