# OAI shared library loader
|
|
|
|
Shared libraries usage is modularization mechanism which provides the following advantages:
|
|
1. Prevents including in the main executable code which is not used in a given configuration
|
|
1. Provides flexibility, several implementation of a given functionality can be chosen at run-time, without any compilation step. For example you can build several devices (USRP, BladeFR, LimeSDR) and choose which one you want to use on the command line or via the configuration.
|
|
1. Makes code evolution easier: as soon as the shared library interface is clearly defined, you can work on the functionality implemented in a shared library while regularly updating the other components of the code. You can decide to develop your own version of a functionality, decide to deliver it or not, letting the user decide wwhat version he wants to use.
|
|
|
|
The main drawback is a performance cost at init time, when loading libraries.
