Detailed Description

The DynamicLibrary class provides a mechanism to load libraries at runtime.

A quick usage example looks as follows:

        std::string relPath = "libArmarXCore.so";
        std::string path;
        CMakePackageFinder package("ArmarXCore");
 
        if (!ArmarXDataPath::getAbsolutePath(relPath, path, {package.getLibraryPaths()}))
            return;
        ARMARX_INFO_S << "Loading lib from " << path;
        DynamicLibrary lib;
        // Load the library
        lib.load(path);
 
        if (!lib.isLibraryLoaded())
        {
            throw LocalException("Could not load library ") << path;
        }
 
        // create typedef for the function
        typedef void (*FunctionType)();
 
        // retrieve function from library
        FunctionType handleExceptionsFunc = lib.getSymbol<FunctionType>("handleExceptions");
 
        // the function can be called now
        try
        {
            throw LocalException("Test Exception");
        }
        catch (...)
        {
            handleExceptionsFunc();
        }
 
        // Unload lib (also done in destructor of DynamicLibrary)
        lib.unload();

Exceptions

exceptions::local::DynamicLibraryException

Returns

requested symbol

noexcept

Checks if a library is currently loaded.

Returns

true if a library is loaded.

load()

void load

(

std::filesystem::path

libPath

)

Loads a shared library from the specified path.

Throws exceptions::local::DynamicLibraryException on error.

Parameters

libPath
