You mean that forbidding module unload is a common sense?? (Sorry for my understanding English.) I agree with that. It's too dangerous to dlclose(). But, dlclose() is not disabled in eina_module currently. So I want to add API for giving rights to disable this for end-users. I looked around the e_module. And I found that e_module does not eina_module and use dlopen() directly. Also it do not use dlclose() except error. > As a note, kernel developers condemn module unloading, saying it's > just a module developer feature and should never be used by end-users > (although we all do to work around buggy kernel modules such as > broadcom's proprietary wifi). > > -- > Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri > http://profusion.mobi embedded systems > -------------------------------------- > MSN: barbi...@gmail.com > Skype: gsbarbieri > Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > This SF email is sponsosred by: > Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here > http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure > _______________________________________________ > enlightenment-devel mailing list > enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel -- BRs, Kim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
