If you use libltdl to do module loading rather than raw dlopen()
I hesitate. What are the pros and cons? I do not really want to add
yet another dependency to my program.
Cons:
- Need to distribute libltdl source with your package.
- Need to enable configuring/building/using libltdl in your package.
Pros:
- Cross-platform module loading portability.
- Module library dependencies for OSs that otherwise don't support
them.
- API is similar to using dlopen(), but with some value-added
features.
- Provides a "module" paradigm for static builds as a fall-back or
to assist with debugging.
