...one of the most highly
regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the
world.

Alexandrescu, C++
Coding Standards
Includes alias methods and macro. You can include this header or boost/dll/shared_library.hpp to reduce dependencies in case you do not use the refcountable functions.

Imports filesystem, error_code, errc, system_error, make_error_code from Boost or C++17 into boost::dll::fs
namespace.
BOOST_DLL_USE_STD_FS
namespace boost { namespace dll { namespace fs { typedef std::conditional_t< BOOST_DLL_USE_STD_FS, std::filesystem::path, boost::filesystem::path > path; typedef std::conditional_t< BOOST_DLL_USE_STD_FS, std::error_code, boost::system::error_code > error_code; typedef std::conditional_t< BOOST_DLL_USE_STD_FS, std::system_error, boost::system::system_error > system_error; } } }
Contains only the boost::dll::library_info class that is capable of extracting different information from binaries.
namespace boost { namespace dll { class library_info; } }
Provides methods for getting acceptable by boost::dll::shared_library location of symbol, source line or program.
namespace boost { namespace dll { template<typename T> boost::dll::fs::path symbol_location_ptr(T, boost::dll::fs::error_code &); template<typename T> boost::dll::fs::path symbol_location_ptr(T); template<typename T> boost::dll::fs::path symbol_location(const T &, boost::dll::fs::error_code &); template<typename T> boost::dll::fs::path symbol_location(const T &); boost::dll::fs::path this_line_location(boost::dll::fs::error_code &); boost::dll::fs::path this_line_location(); boost::dll::fs::path program_location(boost::dll::fs::error_code &); boost::dll::fs::path program_location(); } }
Contains the boost::dll::shared_library class, core class for all the DLL/DSO operations.
namespace boost { namespace dll { class shared_library; // Very fast equality check that compares the actual DLL/DSO objects. Throws nothing. bool operator==(const shared_library & lhs, const shared_library & rhs); // Very fast inequality check that compares the actual DLL/DSO objects. Throws nothing. bool operator!=(const shared_library & lhs, const shared_library & rhs); // Compare the actual DLL/DSO objects without any guarantee to be stable between runs. Throws nothing. bool operator<(const shared_library & lhs, const shared_library & rhs); // Swaps two shared libraries. Does not invalidate symbols and functions loaded from libraries. Throws nothing. void swap(shared_library & lhs, shared_library & rhs); } }
Contains only the boost::dll::load_mode::type enum and operators related to it.
namespace boost { namespace dll { namespace load_mode { enum type; // Free operators for load_mode::type flag manipulation. BOOST_CONSTEXPR type operator|(type left, type right); BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR type & operator|=(type & left, type right); BOOST_CONSTEXPR type operator&(type left, type right); BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR type & operator&=(type & left, type right); BOOST_CONSTEXPR type operator^(type left, type right); BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR type & operator^=(type & left, type right); BOOST_CONSTEXPR type operator~(type left); } } }
Contains the boost::dll::experimental::smart_library class for loading mangled symbols.

Contains all the boost::dll::import* reference counting functions that hold a shared pointer to the instance of boost::dll::shared_library.
namespace boost { namespace dll { template<typename T> result_type import(const boost::dll::fs::path &, const char *, load_mode::type = load_mode::default_mode); template<typename T> result_type import(const boost::dll::fs::path &, const std::string &, load_mode::type = load_mode::default_mode); template<typename T> result_type import(const shared_library &, const char *); template<typename T> result_type import(const shared_library &, const std::string &); template<typename T> result_type import(shared_library &&, const char *); template<typename T> result_type import(shared_library &&, const std::string &); template<typename T> result_type import_alias(const boost::dll::fs::path &, const char *, load_mode::type = load_mode::default_mode); template<typename T> result_type import_alias(const boost::dll::fs::path &, const std::string &, load_mode::type = load_mode::default_mode); template<typename T> result_type import_alias(const shared_library &, const char *); template<typename T> result_type import_alias(const shared_library &, const std::string &); template<typename T> result_type import_alias(shared_library &&, const char *); template<typename T> result_type import_alias(shared_library &&, const std::string &); } }
