Actually, that’s not quite right... Here’s a bit of code from .../vlib/unix/plugin.c:
/* * Sort the plugins by name. This is important. * API traces contain absolute message numbers. * Loading plugins in directory (vs. alphabetical) order * makes trace replay incredibly fragile. */ vec_sort_with_function (pm->plugin_info, plugin_name_sort_cmp); You can assume that AAA will start before AAB, etc. Thanks… Dave From: wang.hu...@zte.com.cn [mailto:wang.hu...@zte.com.cn] Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2017 9:39 PM To: Damjan Marion (damarion) <damar...@cisco.com> Cc: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io; zhao.qingl...@zte.com.cn; wu.bi...@zte.com.cn; gu.ji...@zte.com.cn; dong.ju...@zte.com.cn; Dave Barach (dbarach) <dbar...@cisco.com> Subject: 答复: Re: [vpp-dev] About the order of VLIB_INIT_FUNCTION called between different plugins Thanks you two for the help~ Now we knew that plugins startup maybe has no order , due to reading plugins by "readdir" 。 And the function which defined in other plugin.so could not be called in our plugin, so vlib_call_init_function maybe can not works. We have reconsidered the dependencies between plugins, and ajust that. 王辉 wanghui IT开发工程师 IT Development Engineer 虚拟化南京四部/无线研究院/无线产品经营部 NIV Nanjing Dept.

If you get NULL then another plugin is not loaded. So something like this should work, assuming that you want to go that way... static clib_error_t * bar_init (vlib_main_t * vm) { clib_error_t *error = 0; if (vlib_get_plugin_symbol (“foo_plugin.so”, “foo_init”) == 0) { clib_warning ( “foo plugin not loaded. bar disabled”); bar_main.disabled = 1; return 0; } if ((error = vlib_call_init_function (vm, foo_init))) return error; // continue with bar init… } > On 30 Aug 2017, at 12:37, Dave Barach (dbarach) > <dbar...@cisco.com<mailto:dbar...@cisco.com>> wrote: > > Explicit dependencies between plugins is probably not a good idea.
