Jordan,
You are oh, so right! Thank you for helping me resolve a particularly major
piece of stupidity on my part.
The following code seems (subject to testing, of course), achieve what I’m
looking for:
public extension String {
public func localized(dsoHandle : UnsafeRawPointer = #dsohandle) ->
String {
var dlInformation : dl_info = dl_info()
let _ = dladdr(dsoHandle, &dlInformation)
let path = String(cString: dlInformation.dli_fname)
let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: path).deletingLastPathComponent()
let bundle = Bundle(url: url)
let str = bundle?.localizedString(forKey: self, value: self,
table: nil)
return str!
}
}
Cheers,
Rick
