dll_loader

A single-header library to take away the pain of loading a dynamically linked library. Crossplatform!
Disclaimer: I don't consider it production-ready, it is not tested very heavily and it lacks some features.

Installation

Just download the headerfile, add it to your project directory and include it. That's all!

Usage

Simple example usage to get started:

#include "dll_loader.hpp"
#include <iostream>

int main() {
  // Load the library with the name 'testdll'
  auto lib = dll_loader::dynamic_library("testdll");

  // Get a function from the library named 'get_one', 
  // which takes no parameters and returns an integer.
  auto get_one = lib.get_function<int()>("get_one");

  // Get a function from the library named 'get_a_string',
  // Which takes not parameters and returns a const char*.
  auto get_a_string = lib.get_function<const char*()>("get_a_string");

  // We can just call these functions now:
  std::cout << get_one() << std::endl;

  std::cin.get();
}
