Dynamic libraries

Post by ObsidianX » Fri Oct 03, 2008 4:21 am

Hello!

I was wondering if there was any way to create and use dynamic libraries using devkitARM? Looking around the headers I notice there's no dlfnc.h header which is what's used in Linux. If there's any way for this to work or for me to create my own dynamic library loading system (long shot) I'd love to know how :)

Thanks!

Which platform are you writing code for?

dynamic libraries tend not to be that useful without an OS layer and multitasking. Generally with a bare metal toolchain like devkitARM you're writing entirely self contained binaries.

I'm writing an app for the NDS and I'd like to have dynamically loadable plugins for it.

I guess you could try making your own, by putting a function table at the beginning of the binary and compiling as position-independent code (PIC).
