| 4 | I've checked out HPUX (well, version 11 at least) and shl_t is |
| 5 | a pointer type so it's safe to use in the way it has been in |
| 6 | dso_dl.c. On the other hand, HPUX11 support dlfcn too and |
| 7 | according to their man page, prefer developers to move to that. |
| 8 | I'll leave Richard's changes there as I guess dso_dl is needed |
| 9 | for HPUX10.20. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | There is now a callback scheme in place where filename conversion can |
| 12 | (a) be turned off altogether through the use of the |
| 13 | DSO_FLAG_NO_NAME_TRANSLATION flag, |
| 14 | (b) be handled by default using the default DSO_METHOD's converter |
| 15 | (c) overriden per-DSO by setting the override callback |
| 16 | (d) a mix of (b) and (c) - eg. implement an override callback that; |
| 17 | (i) checks if we're win32 (if(strstr(dso->meth->name, "win32")....) |
| 18 | and if so, convert "blah" into "blah32.dll" (the default is |
| 19 | otherwise to make it "blah.dll"). |
| 20 | (ii) default to the normal behaviour - we're not on win32, eg. |
| 21 | finish with (return dso->meth->dso_name_converter(dso,NULL)). |
