Hello all,
I wonder what are the pros and cons of using RTLD_NODELETE as
a flag to dlopen() and call dlclose () as soon as the required
symbols are loaded.
The alternative is to leave all shared object handles open until
the host terminates.
What are you doing in your plugin host (and why) ?
TIA,
In guitarix we use RTLD_LOCAL|RTLD_NOW and we only call dlclose () when
the plug isn't compatible with our host, or when the host shut down.
RTLD_NODELETE may have a benefit when you load/unload/load/unload/ . .
. a plugin library,
