Member Function Documentation

vtkDynamicLoader* vtkDynamicLoader::New (    )  [inline, static]

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on. Reimplemented from vtkObject. Definition at line 77 of file vtkDynamicLoader.h.

virtual const char* vtkDynamicLoader::GetClassName (    )  [virtual]

Return the class name as a string. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkObject.

int vtkDynamicLoader::IsTypeOf (  const char *    type )  [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual int vtkDynamicLoader::IsA (  const char *    type )  [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkObject.

vtkDynamicLoader* vtkDynamicLoader::SafeDownCast (  vtkObject *    o )  [static]

Will cast the supplied object to vtkObject* is this is a safe operation (i.e., a safe downcast); otherwise NULL is returned. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkObject.

vtkLibHandle vtkDynamicLoader::OpenLibrary (  const char *    )  [static]

Load a dynamic library into the current process. The returned vtkLibHandle can be used to access the symbols in the library.

int vtkDynamicLoader::CloseLibrary (  vtkLibHandle    )  [static]

Attempt to detach a dynamic library from the process. A value of true is returned if it is successful.

void* vtkDynamicLoader::GetSymbolAddress (  vtkLibHandle   , const char *    )  [static]

Find the address of the symbol in the given library

const char* vtkDynamicLoader::LibPrefix (    )  [static]

Return the library prefix for the given architecture

const char* vtkDynamicLoader::LibExtension (    )  [static]

Return the library extension for the given architecture

const char* vtkDynamicLoader::LastError (    )  [static]

Return the last error produced from a calls made on this class.

void vtkDynamicLoader::operator= (  const vtkDynamicLoader &    )  [inline, protected]

Definition at line 106 of file vtkDynamicLoader.h.
