Detailed Description

Plugin support.

Initialization and information about plugins. Plugins are located in shared libraries that are loaded at runtime.

  // Create static Plugin object by using the provided macro
  INIT_PLUGIN(Plugin);
*

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Plugin ( const char *  name, bool  earlyInit = false  )

explicit

Creates a new Plugin container.

Parameters

name	the undecorated name of the library that contains the plugin
earlyInit	True to initialize the plugin early

virtual ~Plugin ( )

virtual

Destroys the plugin. The destructor must never be called directly - the Loader will do it when the shared object's reference count reaches zero.

Member Function Documentation

bool earlyInit ( ) const

inline

Check if the module is to be initialized early

Returns

True if the module should be initialized before regular ones

virtual void* getObject ( const String &  name ) const

virtual

Get a pointer to a derived class given that class name

Parameters

name	Name of the class we are asking for

Returns

Pointer to the requested class or NULL if this object doesn't implement it

Reimplemented from GenObject.

Reimplemented in Driver, and Module.

virtual void initialize ( )

pure virtual

Initialize the plugin after it was loaded and registered.

Implemented in ClientDriver, Driver, and Module.

virtual bool isBusy ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Check if the module is actively used.

Returns

True if the plugin is in use, false if should be ok to restart

Reimplemented in Driver.

const String& name ( ) const

inline

Retrieve the name of the plugin

Returns

The plugin's name as String

NamedCounter* objectsCounter ( ) const

inline

Retrive the objects counter associated to this plugin

Returns

Pointer to plugin's objects counter or NULL

virtual const String& toString ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Get a string representation of this object

Returns

Name of the plugin

Reimplemented from GenObject.
