Definition at line 84 of file usSharedLibrary.cpp.

us::SharedLibrary::SharedLibrary	(	const std::string &	libPath,
		const std::string &	name
	)

Construct a SharedLibrary object using a library search path and a library base name.

Parameters

libPath	An absolute path containing the shared library
name	The base name of the shared library, without prefix and suffix.

Definition at line 89 of file usSharedLibrary.cpp.

us::SharedLibrary::SharedLibrary ( const std::string & absoluteFilePath )

Construct a SharedLibrary object using an absolute file path to the shared library. Using this constructor effectively disables all setters except SetFilePath().

Parameters

absoluteFilePath The absolute path to the shared library.

Definition at line 96 of file usSharedLibrary.cpp.

References SetFilePath().

us::SharedLibrary::~SharedLibrary ( )

Destroys this object but does not unload the shared library.

Member Function Documentation

std::string us::SharedLibrary::GetFilePath ( const std::string & name ) const

Gets the absolute file path for the shared library with base name name, using the search path returned by GetLibraryPath().

Parameters

name	The shared library base name.

Returns: The absolute file path of the shared library.

References GetLibraryPath(), GetPrefix(), GetSuffix(), and us::PATH_SEPARATOR.

std::string us::SharedLibrary::GetFilePath ( ) const

Gets the absolute file path of this SharedLibrary object.

Returns: The absolute file path of the shared library.

void * us::SharedLibrary::GetHandle ( ) const

Gets the internal handle of this SharedLibrary object.

Returns: NULL if the shared library is not loaded, the operating system specific handle otherwise.

Definition at line 263 of file usSharedLibrary.cpp.

std::string us::SharedLibrary::GetLibraryPath ( ) const

Gets the library search path of this SharedLibrary object.

Returns: The library search path.

std::string us::SharedLibrary::GetName ( ) const

Gets the base name of the shared library.

Returns: The shared libraries base name.

Definition at line 179 of file usSharedLibrary.cpp.

std::string us::SharedLibrary::GetPrefix ( ) const

Gets the file name prefix of this SharedLibrary object.

Returns: The file name prefix of the shared library.

std::string us::SharedLibrary::GetSuffix ( ) const

Gets the file name suffix of this SharedLibrary object.

Returns: The file name suffix of the shared library.

bool us::SharedLibrary::IsLoaded ( ) const

Gets the loaded/unloaded stated of this SharedLibrary object.

Returns: true if the shared library is loaded, false otherwise.

void us::SharedLibrary::Load ( )

Loads the shared library pointed to by this SharedLibrary object. On POSIX systems dlopen() is called with the RTLD_LAZY and RTLD_LOCAL flags unless the compiler is gcc 4.4.x or older. Then the RTLD_LAZY and RTLD_GLOBAL flags are used to load the shared library to work around RTTI problems across shared library boundaries.

Exceptions

std::logic_error	If the library is already loaded.
std::runtime_error	If loading the library failed.

Definition at line 136 of file usSharedLibrary.cpp.

void us::SharedLibrary::Load ( int flags )

Loads the shared library pointed to by this SharedLibrary object, using the specified flags on POSIX systems.

Exceptions

std::logic_error	If the library is already loaded.
std::runtime_error	If loading the library failed.

SharedLibrary & us::SharedLibrary::operator= ( const SharedLibrary & other )

Definition at line 107 of file usSharedLibrary.cpp.

void us::SharedLibrary::SetFilePath ( const std::string & absoluteFilePath )

Sets the absolute file path of this SharedLibrary object. Using this methods with a non-empty absoluteFilePath argument effectively disables all other setters.

Parameters

absoluteFilePath The new absolute file path of this SharedLibrary object.

void us::SharedLibrary::SetLibraryPath ( const std::string & path )

Sets a new library search path. Does nothing if the shared library is already loaded or the SharedLibrary(const std::string&) constructor was used.

Parameters

path	The new shared library search path.

void us::SharedLibrary::SetName ( const std::string & name )

Sets the base name of the shared library. Does nothing if the shared library is already loaded or the SharedLibrary(const std::string&) constructor was used.

Parameters

name	The base name of the shared library, without prefix and suffix.

References us::ExplicitlySharedDataPointer< T >::Detach(), and IsLoaded().

void us::SharedLibrary::SetPrefix ( const std::string & prefix )

Sets the file name prefix for shared library names (e.g. .dll or .so). Does nothing if the shared library is already loaded or the SharedLibrary(const std::string&) constructor was used.

Parameters

prefix The shared library name prefix.

void us::SharedLibrary::SetSuffix ( const std::string & suffix )

Sets the suffix for shared library names (e.g. lib). Does nothing if the shared library is already loaded or the SharedLibrary(const std::string&) constructor was used.

Parameters
