Hello Abderrahim Thanks for the help! Your example compiles and can be executed. However there is a warning on execution: $ ./main Loading plugin with path: '/home/me/plugin-example-new/libplugin.so' Loaded module: '/home/me/plugin-example-new/libplugin.so' Plugin type: MyPlugin
Loading plugin with path: '/home/me/plugin-example-new/libplugin.so' Hello world! (process:3609): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.24.1/gobject/gtypemodule.c:112: unsolicitated invocation of g_object_dispose() on GTypeModule Should be unloading plugin with path '/home/me/plugin-example-new/libplugin.so' I guess that's happening when unreffing the Registrar. You mentioned a bug with [ModuleInit]. Is this the same thing as the bug I filed here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621317 ?
