Expand description

The API of a library loader.

Required Associated Types§

Source

type InternalLoader

Type of the internal loader.

Required Methods§

Source

fn to_interface(&self) -> NonNullConst<LibraryLoaderInterface>

Fetches a pointer that can be used with the interface.

Source

unsafe fn from_interface(handler: NonNullConst<LibraryLoaderInterface>) -> Self

Construct a new instance from a pointer.

§Safety

This function should not be used directly.

Source

unsafe fn from_void_ptr(handler: NonNullConst<c_void>) -> Self

Construct a new instance from a void pointer.

§Safety

This function should not be used directly.

Source

unsafe fn load( &mut self, path: &impl AsRef<Path>, ) -> Result<InternalLibrary<Owned>, Error>

Loads a library. The resulting handle is unique.

§Failure

The function fails if loader or path is invalid or the type of the library can not be loaded with the loader.

§Return

Handle on success, error otherwise.

§Safety

The function crosses the ffi boundary. Direct usage of a LibraryLoaderAPI may break some invariants of the library api, if not handled with care.

Source

unsafe fn unload( &mut self, internal: InternalLibrary<Owned>, ) -> Result<(), Error>

Unloads a library.

§Failure

The function fails if internal is invalid.

§Return

Error on failure.

§Safety

The function crosses the ffi boundary. Direct usage of a LibraryLoaderAPI may break some invariants of the library api, if not handled with care.

Source

unsafe fn get_data_symbol<O, U>( &self, internal: &InternalLibrary<O>, symbol: &impl AsRef<CStr>, caster: impl FnOnce(NonNullConst<c_void>) -> &'a U, ) -> Result<Symbol<'a, &'a U>, Error>

Fetches a data symbol from a library.

§Failure

The function fails if internal is invalid or library does not contain symbol.

§Note

Some platforms may differentiate between a function-pointer and a data-pointer. See LibraryLoaderAPI::get_function_symbol() for fetching a function.

§Return

Symbol on success, error otherwise.

§Safety

The function crosses the ffi boundary. Direct usage of a LibraryLoaderAPI may break some invariants of the library api, if not handled with care.

Source

unsafe fn get_function_symbol<O, U>( &self, internal: &InternalLibrary<O>, symbol: &impl AsRef<CStr>, caster: impl FnOnce(CBaseFn) -> U, ) -> Result<Symbol<'a, U>, Error>

Fetches a function symbol from a library.

§Failure

The function fails if internal is invalid or library does not contain symbol.

§Note

Some platforms may differentiate between a function-pointer and a data-pointer. See LibraryLoaderAPI::get_data_symbol() for fetching some data.

§Return

Symbol on success, error otherwise.

§Safety

The function crosses the ffi boundary. Direct usage of a LibraryLoaderAPI may break some invariants of the library api, if not handled with care.

Source

unsafe fn get_internal_interface(&self) -> Self::InternalLoader

Fetches a pointer to the internal interface.

§Return

Pointer to the interface.

§Safety

The function crosses the ffi boundary. Direct usage of a LibraryLoaderAPI may break some invariants of the library api, if not handled with care.

Dyn Compatibility§

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
