I expected to see a simple interface to os::dlopen which then handles all the platform specific issues. I'm also somewhat dubious about having all the JDK code use a VM interface for this, The usual coupling to the VM is to just provide native implementations of core library methods, not to have the VM provide a general purpose utility interface like dynamic library loading. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15264#issuecomment-1694907802
