I still haven't come up with a solution to dynamically loading loaders,
but I have come across a new issue.
The loader I am writing is using an external proprietary API. ie. I
have no source code and no control of the API.
The issue I am facing is that the external API does not support streams,
it only supports loading from a file name as a char*. Since it seems
that the readFile API for osg::SceneFileType is deprecated, I am at a
little bit of a loss as to what to do. From what I understand of the
SceneFileType API it looks like the read method takes 2 arguments: 1.
istream of data 2. filename or extension. I could just assume that the
2nd param will always contain the filename and ignore the stream, but
this seems a little fragile. I know that this will definitely break
support for gziped files since that uses an ultra cool stream adapter,
but will it break anything else in how OpenSG assumes the file loaders work?
It seems that this would be something that others have probably faced
when interfacing with existing loader libraries (especially C-based ones
that would have no concept of streams). What have other people done in
this situation?
Thanks,
Allen
