|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
||
|
This document defines a standard generic interface to the dynamic
|
||
|
linking mechanisms available on many platforms. Its primary purpose is
|
||
|
to implement automatic dynamic loading of Perl modules.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This document serves as both a specification for anyone wishing to
|
||
|
implement the DynaLoader for a new platform and as a guide for
|
||
|
anyone wishing to use the DynaLoader directly in an application.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The DynaLoader is designed to be a very simple high-level
|
||
|
interface that is sufficiently general to cover the requirements
|
||
|
of SunOS, HP-UX, NeXT, Linux, VMS and other platforms.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is also hoped that the interface will cover the needs of OS/2, NT
|
||
|
etc and also allow pseudo-dynamic linking (using C<ld -A> at runtime).
|
||
|
|
||
|
It must be stressed that the DynaLoader, by itself, is practically
|
||
|
useless for accessing non-Perl libraries because it provides almost no
|
||
|
Perl-to-C 'glue'. There is, for example, no mechanism for calling a C
|
||
|
library function or supplying arguments. A C::DynaLib module
|
||
|
is available from CPAN sites which performs that function for some
|
||
|
common system types. And since the year 2000, there's also Inline::C,
|
||
|
a module that allows you to write Perl subroutines in C. Also available
|
||
|
from your local CPAN site.

=item @dl_library_path
|
||
|
|
||
|
The standard/default list of directories in which dl_findfile() will
|
||
|
search for libraries etc. Directories are searched in order:
|
||
|
$dl_library_path[0], [1], ... etc
|
||
|
|
||
|
@dl_library_path is initialised to hold the list of 'normal' directories
|
||
|
(F</usr/lib>, etc) determined by B<Configure> (C<$Config{'libpth'}>). This should
|
||
|
ensure portability across a wide range of platforms.
|
||
|
|
||
|
@dl_library_path should also be initialised with any other directories
|
||
|
that can be determined from the environment at runtime (such as
|
||
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH for SunOS).
|
||
|
|
||
|
After initialisation @dl_library_path can be manipulated by an
|
||
|
application using push and unshift before calling dl_findfile().
|
||
|
Unshift can be used to add directories to the front of the search order
|
||
|
either to save search time or to override libraries with the same name
|
||
|
in the 'normal' directories.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The load function that dl_load_file() calls may require an absolute
|
||
|
pathname. The dl_findfile() function and @dl_library_path can be
|
||
|
used to search for and return the absolute pathname for the
|
||
|
library/object that you wish to load.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item @dl_resolve_using
|
||
|
|
||
|
A list of additional libraries or other shared objects which can be
|
||
|
used to resolve any undefined symbols that might be generated by a
|
||
|
later call to load_file().
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is only required on some platforms which do not handle dependent
|
||
|
libraries automatically. For example the Socket Perl extension
|
||
|
library (F<auto/Socket/Socket.so>) contains references to many socket
|
||
|
functions which need to be resolved when it's loaded. Most platforms
|
||
|
will automatically know where to find the 'dependent' library (e.g.,
|
||
|
F</usr/lib/libsocket.so>). A few platforms need to be told the
|
||
|
location of the dependent library explicitly. Use @dl_resolve_using
|
||
|
for this.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example usage:
|
||
|
|
||
|
@dl_resolve_using = dl_findfile('-lsocket');
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item @dl_require_symbols
|
||
|
|
||
|
A list of one or more symbol names that are in the library/object file
|
||
|
to be dynamically loaded. This is only required on some platforms.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item @dl_librefs
|
||
|
|
||
|
An array of the handles returned by successful calls to dl_load_file(),
|
||
|
made by bootstrap, in the order in which they were loaded.
|
||
|
Can be used with dl_find_symbol() to look for a symbol in any of
|
||
|
the loaded files.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item @dl_modules
|
||
|
|
||
|
An array of module (package) names that have been bootstrap'ed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item @dl_shared_objects
|
||
|
|
||
|
An array of file names for the shared objects that were loaded.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item dl_error()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Syntax:
|
||
|
|
||
|
$message = dl_error();
|
||
|
|
||
|
Error message text from the last failed DynaLoader function. Note
|
||
|
that, similar to errno in unix, a successful function call does not
|
||
|
reset this message.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Implementations should detect the error as soon as it occurs in any of
|
||
|
the other functions and save the corresponding message for later
|
||
|
retrieval. This will avoid problems on some platforms (such as SunOS)
|
||
|
where the error message is very temporary (e.g., dlerror()).
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item $dl_debug
|
||
|
|
||
|
Internal debugging messages are enabled when $dl_debug is set true.
|
||
|
Currently setting $dl_debug only affects the Perl side of the
|
||
|
DynaLoader. These messages should help an application developer to
|
||
|
resolve any DynaLoader usage problems.
|
||
|
|
||
|
$dl_debug is set to C<$ENV{'PERL_DL_DEBUG'}> if defined.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For the DynaLoader developer/porter there is a similar debugging
|
||
|
variable added to the C code (see dlutils.c) and enabled if Perl was
|
||
|
built with the B<-DDEBUGGING> flag. This can also be set via the
|
||
|
PERL_DL_DEBUG environment variable. Set to 1 for minimal information or
|
||
|
higher for more.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item dl_findfile()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Syntax:
|
||
|
|
||
|
@filepaths = dl_findfile(@names)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Determine the full paths (including file suffix) of one or more
|
||
|
loadable files given their generic names and optionally one or more
|
||
|
directories. Searches directories in @dl_library_path by default and
|
||
|
returns an empty list if no files were found.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Names can be specified in a variety of platform independent forms. Any
|
||
|
names in the form B<-lname> are converted into F<libname.*>, where F<.*> is
|
||
|
an appropriate suffix for the platform.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If a name does not already have a suitable prefix and/or suffix then
|
||
|
the corresponding file will be searched for by trying combinations of
|
||
|
prefix and suffix appropriate to the platform: "$name.o", "lib$name.*"
|
||
|
and "$name".
|
||
|
|
||
|
If any directories are included in @names they are searched before
|
||
|
@dl_library_path. Directories may be specified as B<-Ldir>. Any other
|
||
|
names are treated as filenames to be searched for.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Using arguments of the form C<-Ldir> and C<-lname> is recommended.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
@dl_resolve_using = dl_findfile(qw(-L/usr/5lib -lposix));
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item dl_expandspec()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Syntax:
|
||
|
|
||
|
$filepath = dl_expandspec($spec)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Some unusual systems, such as VMS, require special filename handling in
|
||
|
order to deal with symbolic names for files (i.e., VMS's Logical Names).
|
||
|
|
||
|
To support these systems a dl_expandspec() function can be implemented
|
||
|
either in the F<dl_*.xs> file or code can be added to the dl_expandspec()
|
||
|
function in F<DynaLoader.pm>. See F<DynaLoader_pm.PL> for more information.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item dl_load_file()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Syntax:
|
||
|
|
||
|
$libref = dl_load_file($filename, $flags)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Dynamically load $filename, which must be the path to a shared object
|
||
|
or library. An opaque 'library reference' is returned as a handle for
|
||
|
the loaded object. Returns undef on error.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The $flags argument to alters dl_load_file behaviour.
|
||
|
Assigned bits:
|
||
|
|
||
|
0x01 make symbols available for linking later dl_load_file's.
|
||
|
(only known to work on Solaris 2 using dlopen(RTLD_GLOBAL))
|
||
|
(ignored under VMS; this is a normal part of image linking)
|
||
|
|
||
|
(On systems that provide a handle for the loaded object such as SunOS
|
||
|
and HPUX, $libref will be that handle. On other systems $libref will
|
||
|
typically be $filename or a pointer to a buffer containing $filename.
|
||
|
The application should not examine or alter $libref in any way.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is the function that does the real work. It should use the
|
||
|
current values of @dl_require_symbols and @dl_resolve_using if required.
|
||
|
|
||
|
SunOS: dlopen($filename)
|
||
|
HP-UX: shl_load($filename)
|
||
|
Linux: dld_create_reference(@dl_require_symbols); dld_link($filename)
|
||
|
NeXT: rld_load($filename, @dl_resolve_using)
|
||
|
VMS: lib$find_image_symbol($filename,$dl_require_symbols[0])
|
||
|
|
||
|
(The dlopen() function is also used by Solaris and some versions of
|
||
|
Linux, and is a common choice when providing a "wrapper" on other
|
||
|
mechanisms as is done in the OS/2 port.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item dl_unload_file()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Syntax:
|
||
|
|
||
|
$status = dl_unload_file($libref)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Dynamically unload $libref, which must be an opaque 'library reference' as
|
||
|
returned from dl_load_file. Returns one on success and zero on failure.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This function is optional and may not necessarily be provided on all platforms.
|
||
|
If it is defined, it is called automatically when the interpreter exits for
|
||
|
every shared object or library loaded by DynaLoader::bootstrap. All such
|
||
|
library references are stored in @dl_librefs by DynaLoader::Bootstrap as it
|
||
|
loads the libraries. The files are unloaded in last-in, first-out order.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This unloading is usually necessary when embedding a shared-object perl (e.g.
|
||
|
one configured with -Duseshrplib) within a larger application, and the perl
|
||
|
interpreter is created and destroyed several times within the lifetime of the
|
||
|
application. In this case it is possible that the system dynamic linker will
|
||
|
unload and then subsequently reload the shared libperl without relocating any
|
||
|
references to it from any files DynaLoaded by the previous incarnation of the
|
||
|
interpreter. As a result, any shared objects opened by DynaLoader may point to
|
||
|
a now invalid 'ghost' of the libperl shared object, causing apparently random
|
||
|
memory corruption and crashes. This behaviour is most commonly seen when using
|
||
|
Apache and mod_perl built with the APXS mechanism.

||

SunOS: dlclose($libref)
|
||
|
HP-UX: ???
|
||
|
Linux: ???
|
||
|
NeXT: ???
|
||
|
VMS: ???
|
||
|
|
||
|
(The dlclose() function is also used by Solaris and some versions of
|
||
|
Linux, and is a common choice when providing a "wrapper" on other
|
||
|
mechanisms as is done in the OS/2 port.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item dl_load_flags()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Syntax:
|
||
|
|
||
|
$flags = dl_load_flags $modulename;
|
||
|
|
||
|
Designed to be a method call, and to be overridden by a derived class
|
||
|
(i.e. a class which has DynaLoader in its @ISA). The definition in
|
||
|
DynaLoader itself returns 0, which produces standard behavior from
|
||
|
dl_load_file().
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item dl_find_symbol()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Syntax:
|
||
|
|
||
|
$symref = dl_find_symbol($libref, $symbol)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Return the address of the symbol $symbol or C<undef> if not found. If the
|
||
|
target system has separate functions to search for symbols of different
|
||
|
types then dl_find_symbol() should search for function symbols first and
|
||
|
then other types.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The exact manner in which the address is returned in $symref is not
|
||
|
currently defined. The only initial requirement is that $symref can
|
||
|
be passed to, and understood by, dl_install_xsub().
|
||
|
|
||
|
SunOS: dlsym($libref, $symbol)
|
||
|
HP-UX: shl_findsym($libref, $symbol)
|
||
|
Linux: dld_get_func($symbol) and/or dld_get_symbol($symbol)
|
||
|
NeXT: rld_lookup("_$symbol")
|
||
|
VMS: lib$find_image_symbol($libref,$symbol)
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item dl_find_symbol_anywhere()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Syntax:
|
||
|
|
||
|
$symref = dl_find_symbol_anywhere($symbol)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Applies dl_find_symbol() to the members of @dl_librefs and returns
|
||
|
the first match found.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item dl_undef_symbols()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example
|
||
|
|
||
|
@symbols = dl_undef_symbols()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Return a list of symbol names which remain undefined after load_file().
|
||
|
Returns C<()> if not known. Don't worry if your platform does not provide
|
||
|
a mechanism for this. Most do not need it and hence do not provide it,
|
||
|
they just return an empty list.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item dl_install_xsub()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Syntax:
|
||
|
|
||
|
dl_install_xsub($perl_name, $symref [, $filename])
|
||
|
|
||
|
Create a new Perl external subroutine named $perl_name using $symref as
|
||
|
a pointer to the function which implements the routine. This is simply
|
||
|
a direct call to newXSUB(). Returns a reference to the installed
|
||
|
function.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The $filename parameter is used by Perl to identify the source file for
|
||
|
the function if required by die(), caller() or the debugger. If
|
||
|
$filename is not defined then "DynaLoader" will be used.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item bootstrap()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Syntax:
|
||
|
|
||
|
bootstrap($module [...])
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is the normal entry point for automatic dynamic loading in Perl.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It performs the following actions:
|
||
|
|
||
|
=over 8
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item *
|
||
|
|
||
|
locates an auto/$module directory by searching @INC
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item *
|
||
|
|
||
|
uses dl_findfile() to determine the filename to load
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item *
|
||
|
|
||
|
sets @dl_require_symbols to C<("boot_$module")>
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item *
|
||
|
|
||
|
executes an F<auto/$module/$module.bs> file if it exists
|
||
|
(typically used to add to @dl_resolve_using any files which
|
||
|
are required to load the module on the current platform)
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item *
|
||
|
|
||
|
calls dl_load_flags() to determine how to load the file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item *
|
||
|
|
||
|
calls dl_load_file() to load the file
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item *
|
||
|
|
||
|
calls dl_undef_symbols() and warns if any symbols are undefined
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item *
|
||
|
|
||
|
calls dl_find_symbol() for "boot_$module"
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item *
|
||
|
|
||
|
calls dl_install_xsub() to install it as "${module}::bootstrap"
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item *
|
||
|
|
||
|
calls &{"${module}::bootstrap"} to bootstrap the module (actually
|
||
|
it uses the function reference returned by dl_install_xsub for speed)
|
||
|
|
||
|
=back
|
||
|
|
||
|
All arguments to bootstrap() are passed to the module's bootstrap function.
|
||
|
The default code generated by F<xsubpp> expects $module [, $version]
|
||
|
If the optional $version argument is not given, it defaults to
|
||
|
C<$XS_VERSION // $VERSION> in the module's symbol table. The default code
|
||
|
compares the Perl-space version with the version of the compiled XS code,
|
||
|
and croaks with an error if they do not match.
