Pardon my ignorance, but why is runtime resolving so difficult? There is
a fine Delphi ABI that maps classes, simple types, rtti, variables,
methods, constructors, functions etc. to names the linker will then
resolve... Since each symbol is only once included in the whole set of
files that makes an application, I don't quite see the difficulty. Why
is it that much different from a normal dll/so you link against?
If you wanted to get RTTI for a particular type from a package, you
could just manually call getProcAddress(<mangled name>) and use that
pointer.
