Definition of VM/ESA dynamic Linking functions
==============================================
In order to make this implementation easier to understand here is a
quick definition of the VM/ESA Dynamic Linking functions which are
used here.
dlopen
------
void *
dlopen(const char *path)
This function takes the name of a dynamic object file and returns
a descriptor which can be used by dlsym later. It returns NULL on
error.
dllsym
------
void *
dlsym(void *handle, char *symbol)
Takes the handle returned from dlopen and the name of a symbol to
get the address of. If the symbol was found a pointer is
returned. It returns NULL on error.
dlerror
-------
char * dlerror()
Returns a null-terminated string which describes the last error
that occurred with the other dll functions. After each call to
dlerror the error message will be reset to a null pointer. The
SaveError function is used to save the error as soo as it happens.
Return Types
============
In this implementation the two functions, dl_load_file &
dl_find_symbol, return void *. This is because the underlying SunOS
dynamic linker calls also return void *. This is not necessarily
the case for all architectures. For example, some implementation
will want to return a char * for dl_load_file.
If void * is not appropriate for your architecture, you will have to
change the void * to whatever you require. If you are not certain of
how Perl handles C data types, I suggest you start by consulting
Dean Roerich's Perl 5 API document. Also, have a look in the typemap
file (in the ext directory) for a fairly comprehensive list of types
that are already supported. If you are completely stuck, I suggest you
post a message to perl5-porters, comp.lang.perl.misc or if you are really
desperate to me.
Remember when you are making any changes that the return value from
dl_load_file is used as a parameter in the dl_find_symbol
function. Also the return value from find_symbol is used as a parameter
to install_xsub.
Dealing with Error Messages
============================
In order to make the handling of dynamic linking errors as generic as
possible you should store any error messages associated with your
implementation with the StoreError function.
In the case of VM/ESA the function dlerror returns the error message
associated with the last dynamic link error. As the VM/ESA dynamic
linker functions return NULL on error every call to a VM/ESA dynamic
dynamic link routine is coded like this
RETVAL = dlopen(filename) ;
if (RETVAL == NULL)
SaveError("%s",dlerror()) ;
Note that SaveError() takes a printf format string. Use a "%s" as
the first parameter if the error may contain and % characters.
