Hi Charles,
That just leaves Eric's comments, and Ralf's point (4). I wonder if it
would be a good idea to add --enable/--disable configure flags for every
loader...with the "default" set of loaders determined on a per-platform
basis. That's the most flexible (and wouldn't be a cygwin-specific
hack), but it seems like it could be really complicated.
I postponed that part on purpose. The ever-increasing number of
configure switches is frightening. OTOH, choice is good in this case,
IMVHO. Maybe we can get away with one switch for all of them. Like
this:
--disable-ltdl-loaders=LOADER[,...]
that sounds good. Have no idea how it should be implemented tho.
But there actually is another point I forgot to mention:
(3a) if both dlopen and LoadLibrary are used on cygwin, the former
_must_ be tried first by ltdl. I believe you mentioned that this
is not the case ATM (haven't checked yet).
No, I think the wrong-order problem was because of my (now abandoned)
patch when packaging libtool for the cygwin distribution. I *believe*
the current impl, when both loaders are compiled in, calls dlopen first.
But I'll check...
I would really like to fix them in order, i.e., fix (4) last.
Sure.
