On platforms that use ELF (Linux, Solaris, BSD?), I guess so, as long as you don't call the functions until you have loaded the module that implements them. But not on Windows. I guess it might be a good idea to ask for something like g_module_list_symbols() in an enhancement request in bugzilla. Dunno how easy to implement and well-defined that would be on the various platforms, though. On Windows, it is a well-defined task, except that one should really also return at least one flag per symbol, whether it is function or data. Unfortunately, although the task is well-defined, I can't find, after a quick browse of the Platform SDK documentation, what API to use to enumerate the entry points of a loaded (or unloaded, for that matter) DLL. Can't say about ELF. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
