CatchLibray

Post by jamirokwai »

Hi board,

I'd like to suggest a CatchLibrary-function for embedded DLLs or .so.
Would be interesting to have...

Imagine, you code a lot of Libraries you like to ship with your Application, or you would add later on for new functions.
Either you have 90 files cluttering around your HardDrive, or you would put them into an archive, and decompress them on-the-fly. Since 50% of the code is identical in your libraries, you save bandwidth and a bit of space. And if you use PB-compression, you also have some kind of copy-protection :-)
Regards,
JamiroKwai

Would also be a good alternative for libs since we cant create them with PB.

Theres ready to use code - talk to Joachim Bauch about the license
im sure it will be possible to include it into PureBasic:
