<div dir="ltr">This seems like the only case we ever want, so I'm going to post a patch to LLVM's DynamicLibrary class to use RTLD_FIRST on Apple, and a similar method of checking the module filespec on other platforms, and see if they accept it. If so, I will convert our Plugin code to use LLVM's DynamicLibrary and then delete our DynamicLibrary</div>

</div>It says "only look in this binary, don't look in any others. We are looking for a plug-in initialization function and we don't want to get one back from another dylib.<br>

As Enrico said, the email from a while back details this:<br>

> The reason I ask about this is that llvm support library already has a DynamicLibrary class whose purpose almost exactly matches what we're using the Host::DynamicLibrary related functions for. However, it doesn't use the RTLD_FIRST flag, and so I'm not sure what the implications are of us using it and deleting our own DynamicLibrary code.<br>
<br>
</div>It would be nice if we could specify this flag so we either find the symbol from libx.dylib or we don't. We don't want to find the symbol in liby.dylib and call it in our case.<br>
