libmodules4150

libmodules4150 is a cross-platform modular library framework designed to simplify the integration of plug-in modules into host applications. It provides a dynamic module loader, a stable module API, and a lightweight isolation layer to support extensible software without compromising stability. The project aims to enable large applications to be extended with independently developed components while maintaining predictable performance and security.

Core components include a runtime loader that loads binary modules at run time, a module interface that standardizes how modules expose functionality, and a service registry that enables modules to publish and consume capabilities. The framework also includes a dependency graph to resolve inter-module requirements and a sandbox for isolating module execution.

libmodules4150 is designed for C and C++ projects but offers bindings and adapters for other languages. It supports Windows, Linux, and macOS, with optional support for position independent code and custom memory allocators. Versioned modules and compatibility checks help avoid symbol conflicts during updates.

Typical usage involves initializing the runtime, registering search paths for modules, loading a module by name, initializing it, and querying its exports. The API provides mechanisms for unloading modules, hot-swapping replacements, and handling module failures without crashing the host application.

The library is distributed under a permissive license and is maintained on a public repository with documentation, examples, and contribution guidelines. The name 4150 reflects a milestone code rather than a conventional version number, and releases follow semantic versioning conventions as the project evolves.
