MH_BUNDLE is no longer typical. The only advantage of MH_BUNDLE is that you might be able to unload it, but you probably shouldn't try. Feel free to use MH_DYLIB for all of your plugin needs. (libobjc prevents unloading of any MH_DYLIB containing Objective-C metadata. It does not summarily disallow unloading of MH_BUNDLE, but there's a long list of caveats that make bundle unloading unusable except in rare situations.) -- 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.
