- I would like to be able to load libraries generated from C++ from
- other C++ code. This is not a big problem but I would like to use the
- libraries ON DEMAND ie. when the application needs it and not at
- compile time. (Using LOADLIBRARY/FINDSYMBOL api calls of the dynamic
- loader components of several OS-ses : Windows, Linux, Unix, ...)
-
- There is however the problem of the name mangling : What is the name
- of the C++ function I need ?
-
- Does there exist (compiler-specific) API's to mangle/demangle that can
- be used from within an application ?
- Does anybody have other suggestions how to do this ?
-
- Thanx
