by Is there anyway to write code fragments or plug-ins easily for Unix and/or
Solaris?
Essentially, I want to do what something like Photoshop does on my Mac (and
what I can do as code resources on my Mac).
A program looks in a directory for its plug-ins. It plug-in contains a
fragment of code with a defined entry-point and constant interface. The
plug-in however, is not fully linked or executable.
I want to be able to jump from the main program into the plug-ins according
to when their execution should be appropriate.
The shared object libraries come close... but I don't want the restriction
of having to link the main program with the plug-ins.
There is problably some deep kernel magic involved here, and or icky assembly
code...
If you know how I can do this, would you please mind sending me an email
describing how to do this (or better yet, source code!)?
Thanks.
