Load a QT Plugin from memory?
-
Hi all,
I am creating my own "plugin installer" from within the Qt application. The function of this is to read a zip, 7zip, or rar archive and locate any files that may be a plugin. If possible I would like to do this without writing the unzipped file to the hard disk first. However, the QPluginLoader doesn't seem to support this ability. Can I load a plugin which is decompressed into a buffer in memory?A quick little insight into how I am decompressing:
I am using libarchive to decompress the file. The file is decompressed to either a char* or a byte* using the malloc function to reserve memory equivalent to the size of the file. I need to be able give QPluginLoader access to that block of memory. -
Hi,
AFAIK, no, plugins are loaded from the disk. What kind of plugin are you writing ?
