Class DllLoader

class DllLoader

m_Handle

private void* m_Handle;

m_Name

private const char* m_Name;

DllLoader

public DllLoader( const char* name );

Prepare the DLL loader. Does no actual work.

Parameters:

name - base name of the library (from which we'll derive "name.dll", "libname_dbg.so", etc). Pointer must remain valid for this object's lifetime (which is fine if you just use a string literal).

~DllLoader

public ~DllLoader();

IsLoaded

public bool IsLoaded() const;

Check whether the library has been loaded successfully. Returns false before LoadDLL has been called; otherwise returns the same as LoadDLL did.

LoadDLL

public bool LoadDLL();

Attempt to load and initialise the library, if not already. Can be harmlessly called multiple times. Returns false if unsuccessful.

LoadSymbol

public void LoadSymbol( const char* name, T& fptr ) const;

Attempt to load a named symbol from the library. If IsLoaded is false, throws PSERROR_DllLoader_DllNotLoaded. If it cannot load the symbol, throws PSERROR_DllLoader_SymbolNotFound. In both cases, sets fptr to NULL. Otherwise, fptr is set to point to the loaded function.

Throws:

PSERROR_DllLoader

LoadSymbolInternal

private void LoadSymbolInternal( const char* name, void** fptr ) const;

Unload

public void Unload();

Unload the library, if it has been loaded already. (Usually not needed, since the destructor will unload it.)
