Struct LoadedPlugin 

pub struct LoadedPlugin {
    pub path: PathBuf,
    /* private fields */
}

A dynamically loaded plugin and its backing library handle.

The library must outlive the plugin — Drop calls the destroy function before the library is unloaded.

Fields

path: PathBuf

Path to the shared library (for diagnostics).

Implementations

impl LoadedPlugin

pub fn plugin(&self) -> &dyn Plugin

Get a reference to the loaded plugin.

pub unsafe fn into_boxed_plugin(self) -> Box<dyn Plugin>

Consume this wrapper and return the boxed plugin trait object.

The caller takes ownership of the plugin and is responsible for ensuring the library outlives it. The destroy function will NOT be called — the caller must arrange cleanup.

Safety

The returned Box<dyn Plugin> references vtable entries inside the shared library. The library (_library field) is dropped when this struct is consumed, so the caller must ensure the plugin is dropped before the library would be unloaded. In practice, this is safe when the plugin is registered into the PluginRegistry and the registry is dropped before process exit (which is the normal lifecycle).
