  1. NOTES
  2. -----
  3. I've checked out HPUX (well, version 11 at least) and shl_t is
  4. a pointer type so it's safe to use in the way it has been in
  5. dso_dl.c. On the other hand, HPUX11 support dlfcn too and
  6. according to their man page, prefer developers to move to that.
  7. I'll leave Richard's changes there as I guess dso_dl is needed
  8. for HPUX10.20.
  9. There is now a callback scheme in place where filename conversion can
  10. (a) be turned off altogether through the use of the
  11. DSO_FLAG_NO_NAME_TRANSLATION flag,
  12. (b) be handled by default using the default DSO_METHOD's converter
  13. (c) overriden per-DSO by setting the override callback
  14. (d) a mix of (b) and (c) - eg. implement an override callback that;
  15. (i) checks if we're win32 (if(strstr(dso->meth->name, "win32")....)
  16. and if so, convert "blah" into "blah32.dll" (the default is
  17. otherwise to make it "blah.dll").
  18. (ii) default to the normal behaviour - we're not on win32, eg.
  19. finish with (return dso->meth->dso_name_converter(dso,NULL)).
