write plug-in system in c++

Question

Answer 1

It highly depends on your OS, but the principle is always the same:

Usually, your program load one or several dynamic libraries - the plugins - (.dll files on windows, .so on *nix) that have the same public interface (the same set of functions, with identical names and parameters).

By the way, those libraries do not require to be written in C++: you may create your main program using C++ then create a plugin using Delphi. As long as the public interface remains the same, it's all fine.

You didn't gave use enough information to be more specific.

What OS are you targetting ?
