1 //===-- PluginLoader.cpp - Implement -load command line option ------------===//
3 // This file implements the -load <plugin> command line option processor. When
4 // linked into a program, this new command line option is available that allows
5 // users to load shared objects into the running program.
7 // Note that there are no symbols exported by the .o file generated for this
8 // .cpp file. Because of this, a program must link against support.o instead of
9 // support.a: otherwise this translation unit will not be included.
