C++ inheritance and dynamic library loading -


i'm trying create modular application in c++. works fine when linked statically, want achieve plug-in architecture (using dlopen or loadlibrary).

all base classes located in host apllication , these classes extended in plug-in modules. modules loaded @ run-time.

application                module ----------------           ------------------- | baseclass1   |           | extendedclass1  | | baseclass2   |           | extendedclass2  | | baseclass3   |           | extendedclass3  | ----------------           ------------------- 

but when try compile module, linker can't find references baseclass methods.

can somehow tell linker not link these classes @ compile time , let os link them on load in run-time? or should use different approach , move baseclasses core library , link both application , module core library?

just said, use core approach. create common/core directory, has header files of baseclass1 baseclass3. when compile host application, have access common directory. when compile plug-in, have access common directory.
if need release host binary external customers, include common directory, external customer can program own plug-in. how it. not best solution, works.
