No, weak linking doesn't do that. You want deferred binding: if the symbol you want is not present at load time but appears later, resolve to that one at that time. dlopen+dlsym is the only way to get that on Mac OS. Normal linking is required and not deferred: if the symbol you want is not present at load time, your process halts. Weak linking is optional, but still not deferred: if the symbol you want is not present at load time, then your references resolve to NULL. You don't get a chance to try again later. -- Greg Parker gpar...@apple.com Runtime Wrangler _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
