Description
-
void open (const Path& path) -
Opens this library with the
-
void close () -
Closes this library. This call never fails, even if this library was never open.
-
void* address (const String& symbol) -
Returns a pointer to the symbol in this library. The returned pointer to the
symbol can be casted to a function or a C++ object, and used as a regular

-
Exception::Library::Symbol
- is thrown if this library does not contain symbol.
-
Exception::Library::Close
- is thrown is this library was never open, either
