The PB docs mention AttachProcess as the place to dim arrays and maps for windows.
Where should this be done for a OS X dylib ?
I want to dim some global arrays but have no clue where that should be done.

You could make an Init function (All OS).

Is that allowed ?
The help file says

If it can be done inside any procedure that would make things a lot easier.

It can be done in any procedure, it was for "global" items. But I think that's history as you can put it outside and it should be automatically executed when the DLL loads (basically all code outside procedure is executed when the DLL loads).

Thanks for clarifying.
