I'm working on a project in Linux where I've got some special signal handling requirements. I need to modify system.pp's InstallSignals to dynamically load an .so, look up a function by name, and make some calls into that library instead of doing what it normally does.
The dynlibs unit has the code I need to call SafeLoadLibrary and GetProcedureAddress, but my problem is that obviously I can't just put "uses dynlibs" in system since, well, it's system, and there would be circular dependencies since system is pretty much first on the dependency list. My thought is that basically I'll just have to pull the code from dynlibs.pas, dynlibs.inc, and dl.pp into my own .inc file and include it rather than trying to have anything in a uses section. I'm aware that doing this will decrease the portability of my code and make me dependent on libc, but these changes I'm making to the rtl are for a very specific purpose, and I won't be using them to compile anything else. :) Does that seem like the right way for me to get the functionality of those calls available to me in InstallSignals? Or is there something easier I'm missing? Thanks, SG -- This email is fiction. Any resemblance to actual events or persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
