Looked at this (as it is a showstopper) and agree. Added api (perhaps
lt_dlcaller_set_iface(const char*,lt_dlhandle_interface *); or
something) to
set the info and remove the arguments here.
Gary?
I would deprecate the old api:
lt_dlcaller_id lt_dlcaller_register (void);
And make the new call:
lt_dlcaller_id lt_dlcaller_register_iface (const char *...
This should be a simple matter of tweaking the docs, renaming the
current /lt_dlcaller_register/ to \&_iface, and then factoring out
the guts of the new \&_iface into a backwards compatible
lt_dlcaller_register.
I think the docs should relegate mention of the old style
lt_dlcaller_register to a footnote that says it is still present
but deprecated.
Cheers,
Gary.
