It’s OK to look up symbols e.g. using vlib_get_plugin_symbol(...). If the two plugins can’t operate independently of each other – even in the sense of A will work without B, but not vice-versa - you might as well combine them.

Plugin-A needs to call function in plugin-B. Currently, we are using dlopen/dlsym to get the function pointer of function-B in function-A and made it working. But is this the correct way to do it in VPP? (or) does VPP have any other standard way of achieving this. Also, does this drive me towards plugin-A and plugin-B into a single plugin-C. In nut shell, calling functions across plugins, is this a common thing in VPP architecture ? (or) is this something we need to avoid for any reasons ? Thanks & Regards, Satish
