Description

This pull request includes all the changes for the third major version of dylib

Changes include

• dylib is now a namespace, the main class is now dylib::library. Now, by default, no decorators are applied to the library name, you should use for example dylib::decorations::os_default()

dylib 2.0

// Windows -> "./plugins/core.dll"
// MacOS   -> "./plugins/libcore.dylib"
// Linux   -> "./plugins/libcore.so"
dylib lib("./plugins/core");

dylib 3.0

// Windows -> "./plugins/core.dll"
// MacOS   -> "./plugins/libcore.dylib"
// Linux   -> "./plugins/libcore.so"
dylib::library lib("./plugins/core", dylib::decorations::os_default());

• Support of cross-platform and cross-compiler C++ mangled symbols gathering.

dylib::library lib("./plugins/core", dylib::decorations::os_default());
auto format = lib.get_function<std::string(const char *)>("tools::string::format(char const *)");

• Macros DYLIB_WIN_OTHER and DYLIB_WIN_MAC_OTHER are now public
• Support of custom decorations

// Windows -> "./plugins/core.dll"
// MacOS   -> "./plugins/libcore.so"
// Linux   -> "./plugins/libcore.so"
auto custom_decorations = dylib::decorations(
    DYLIB_WIN_OTHER("", "lib"), DYLIB_WIN_OTHER(".dll", ".so")
);
dylib::library lib("./plugins/core", custom_decorations);

Drop of support

• System libraries cannot be gathered anymore without specifying a full path:

dylib 2.0

dylib lib("kernel32");
auto GetCurrentThreadId = lib.get_function<DWORD()>("GetCurrentThreadId");

dylib 3.0

dylib::library lib("\Windows\system32\Kernel32.dll");
auto GetCurrentThreadId = lib.get_function<DWORD()>("GetCurrentThreadId");

I'll start by saying that it's quite difficult to review a huge PR like this, with dozens of changes. I hope I can get to it soon, but I'm not making any promises. I just got up from the bomb shelter - we are getting Iranian missiles now. Damn ridiculous war on Iran.

Sorry to hear that, I hope you and your family are safe.
