Module - hadron13/Skeewb GitHub Wiki

Modules, or mods for short, are single dynamically linked library (.so/dll) loaded at runtime by the Core executable.

Entry point

The standard entry point is module_desc_t load(core_interface_t *core); This function will be called as soon as the shared library for the module is loaded, in no specific order

Hot Reload (WIP)

Modules can be hot reloaded calling module_reload event with the modid, or through module_reload() macro in the Core interface and this will call these 2 functions in the chosen module:

• void prereload(core_interface_t *core) - before reloading
• module_desc_t reload(core_interface_t *core) - after reloading

The core will then call prereload() to prepare for reloading, the core is not responsible for any cleanup. Ater prereload() returns, the shared library will be unloaded and then loaded back, calling reload() instead of load()

A module can reload itself too.
