<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I was wondering if anyone knew of a good cross-platform (and, equally or more importantly, cross-compiler) C++ library that worries about loading dynamic libraries and resolving symbols. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I know about dlopen, dlsym for Linux, LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() for Windows, etc. but I would like something that sufficiently abstracts these things away from the platform/compiler. &nbsp;I'm sad to say, I definitely miss the Java classloaders now that I'm back in C++ for a little while, so I figured I'd look around to see if there is anything else in C++ with similar functionality.<br />

Thanks for your help!

Cross-platform dynamic library...library?

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
