OpenGUI::PluginManager Class Reference

#include <OpenGUI_PluginManager.h>

Detailed Description

Plugin manager for tracking the proper loading and unloading of plugins.

Note:

All plugins are given a chance for notification when they are loaded and unloaded. Plugins that wish to receive this notification need to export:

void pluginStart(void);
void pluginStop(void);

Remarks:: Depending on how OpenGUI was configured when compiled the plugin system may perform varying degrees of filename mangling. An explanation and the current setting can be found in OpenGUI_CONFIG.h. To help explain how this works, the comment from that section of the config file is available here.
