Static Public Member Functions
static cxx0x::shared_ptr< Plugin >	Load (const std::string &fileName)
static std::string	Suffix ()

Detailed Description

Represent a shared library containing wallaroo class definitions.

Given the file name, Plugin loads a shared library and stores the descritptors of the registered classes defined inside. Then, the classes will be available for the dynamic creation via the Catalog::Create method.

You can get a Plugin istance by using the Plugin::Load method. The instance lifetime is managed by wallaroo: the object is destroyed (and the library is unloaded) when there are no more references (including instances of registered classes and descriptors).
