Struct PluginLoader 

pub struct PluginLoader { /* private fields */ }

Plugin loader responsible for discovering and loading native plugins.

A trusted directory is an application-managed or explicitly user-approved installation location. Repository-controlled directories must not be added as trusted directories: loading a dynamic library executes its constructors before the plugin ABI can be inspected.

Implementations

impl PluginLoader

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a new plugin loader

pub fn add_trusted_dir(&mut self, path: PathBuf) -> &mut Self

Add an explicitly trusted plugin directory.

This method only enforces path containment after the directory is trusted; it does not verify provenance or obtain user consent. Callers must not pass paths selected from repository contents.

pub fn trusted_dirs(&self) -> &[PathBuf]

Get trusted plugin directories

pub fn load_plugin( &self, plugin_path: &Path, ) -> Result<Box<dyn NativePluginTrait>>

Load a plugin from a specific path.

Security

Library::new can execute arbitrary native initialization code before this function returns. The caller must establish explicit user consent and provenance before calling this method; plugin metadata is not an authorization mechanism.

pub fn discover_plugins(&self) -> Result<Vec<Box<dyn NativePluginTrait>>>

Discover and load all plugins in trusted directories.

Loading occurs during discovery, so callers must establish provenance and explicit user consent before invoking this method.

pub fn library_filename(&self, name: &str) -> String

Convert a plugin name to a library filename for the current platform

Trait Implementations

impl Default for PluginLoader

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
