I just want to develop wrapper around LoadLibrary, FreeLibrary, GetProcAddress for Windows and dlopen, dlclose, dlsym for Unix OSs.
I think it is very easy to do and no additional functionality shall be added (maybe in another library). I tryed to design KISS (Keep It Stupid Simply) and platform-independed wrapper.

For me, it seems that the library should also handle calling functions that are exported from the library that is loaded. Can this be done in a way that does not depends on the platform as the calling convention is probably different. And probably, it would be usefull to be able to remember the address of a function after we get it once and have the ability to keep the library loaded. Then when the library is unloaded? Under Windows, we typically need to unload libraries before exiting main if some libraries also load other ones and a library or the application has static object that would cause code to be executed when destroyed... If we let the system unload the dynamically loaded libraries, the system does not always knows "dynamic" depedencies and might unload the DLL in the wrong order. Philippe
