Re: Trying to create plugins

[Erik Kaffehr]

Hi!

I don't have time to elaborate on the code, but we have used this in a project 
and it worked reasonably well.... Might give you some ideas.

Regards

Erik


int ct_read_plugins (QString plugin_directory)
{
  FUN fun_addr;

  int counter = 0;

  QString class_name;
  QString file_name;
  QString fun_name;

  QLibrary *library;

  QFile file (plugin_directory + "/.plugins");

  if (!file.open (IO_ReadOnly))
  {
    std::cerr << "*** ERROR: Could not open list of plugins " << file.name() 
<< std::e
ndl;
    return -1;
  }

  QTextStream stream (&file);

  while (!stream.eof())
  {
    /* get class name, file name and name of createfunction */
    class_name = stream.readLine ();
    file_name = plugin_directory + "/" + class_name;
    fun_name = "create" + class_name;

    /* open plugin file */
    library = new QLibrary (file_name);
    library->load ();

    if (library->isLoaded () == false)
    {
      QMessageBox::information (0, "Read Plugins", "Could not open " + 
file_name, QMes
sageBox::Yes);
      std::cerr << "Error opening '" << file_name << "'" << std::endl;
      continue;
    }

    //    QMessageBox::information (0, "Read Plugins", "Open " + file_name, 
QMessageBo
x::Yes);
    library->setAutoUnload (false);
    /* get address of createfunction */
    fun_addr = FUN (library->resolve (fun_name));

    if (fun_addr == NULL)
    {
      QMessageBox::information (0, "Read Plugins", "Could not find " + 
fun_name, QMess
ageBox::Yes);
      std::cerr << "Error finding symbol '" <<  fun_name << "'" << std::endl;
      continue;
    }
    else
    {
      /* add class to list of adapters */
      CTFactory::getInstance()->addItem (
          new CTObjectCreatorEntry (fun_addr),
          class_name.ascii(),
          CTBaseObj::tr(class_name).ascii());

      std::cout << "ct_read_plugins (): added plugin: " << class_name << 
std::endl;

      counter++;
    }
  }

  file.close ();

  return counter;
}
