Library is cached if loaded multiple times

Hi there,
I have a little bit of a special use-case and I don't know very much about loading dynamic libraries at runtime.
I am trying to:
- Load a
dylib
at runtime -> works - get a function -> works
- call said function and use its return value -> works
Now comes the part that doesn't work:
- Compile a cargo project at runtime and generate a new
dylib
-> works - Load the library again -> not sure if that really works
- get and call the changed function -> definitely doesn't work
The problem is, that I still somehow get the old function and get the old return value from it.
How can I force it to unload and reload the library?
Working on MacOS
libloading = "0.8.1"

This is a platform behaviour libloading can do nothing about. Please refer to the list of closed issues, for example #59.
