Detailed Description

class interface to system dynamic libraries

vtkDynamicLoader provides a portable interface to loading dynamic libraries into a process.

Member Function Documentation

static vtkDynamicLoader* vtkDynamicLoader::New

(

)

[static]

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static int vtkDynamicLoader::IsTypeOf

(

const char *

name

)

[static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual int vtkDynamicLoader::IsA

(

const char *

name

)

[virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static vtkDynamicLoader* vtkDynamicLoader::SafeDownCast

(

vtkObjectBase *

o

)

[static]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual vtkObjectBase* vtkDynamicLoader::NewInstanceInternal

(

)

const [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

vtkDynamicLoader* vtkDynamicLoader::NewInstance

(

)

const

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static vtkLibHandle vtkDynamicLoader::OpenLibrary

(

const char *

)

[static]

Load a dynamic library into the current process. The returned vtkLibHandle can be used to access the symbols in the library.

static int vtkDynamicLoader::CloseLibrary

(

vtkLibHandle

)

[static]

Attempt to detach a dynamic library from the process. A value of true is returned if it is successful.

static void* vtkDynamicLoader::GetSymbolAddress	(	vtkLibHandle	,
		const char *
	)		[static]

Find the address of the symbol in the given library static vtkSymbolPointer GetSymbolAddress(vtkLibHandle, const char*);

static const char* vtkDynamicLoader::LibPrefix

(

)

[static]

Return the library prefix for the given architecture

static const char* vtkDynamicLoader::LibExtension

(

)

[static]

Return the library extension for the given architecture

static const char* vtkDynamicLoader::LastError

(

)

[static]

Return the last error produced from a calls made on this class.
