Abstract

Currently, most library headers in fpc/packages support only static linking. Some exceptions are mysql, ibase, sqlite (and some other database headers). The idea is now to add dynamic linking support for other headers. This page should provide some place to list pro/contra, implementation details, etc...

Pro

  • loading libraries at runtime (plugin support)

Contra

Implementation (suggestions)
