25 * System dependent library loading routines
26 *
27 * Some things to keep in mind:
28 * \li These functions only work on C function names. Other languages may
29 * have name mangling and intrinsic language support that varies from
30 * compiler to compiler.
31 * \li Make sure you declare your function pointers with the same calling
32 * convention as the actual library function. Your code will crash
33 * mysteriously if you do not do this.
34 * \li Avoid namespace collisions. If you load a symbol from the library,
35 * it is not defined whether or not it goes into the global symbol
36 * namespace for the application. If it does and it conflicts with
37 * symbols in your code or other shared libraries, you will not get
38 * the results you expect. :)
