Detailed Description

Load TBB at runtime.

Usage:

In source code:

#include "tbb/runtime_loader.h"

char const * path[] = { "<install dir>/lib/ia32", NULL };
tbb::runtime_loader loader( path );

// Now use TBB.

Link with tbbproxy.lib (or libtbbproxy.a) instead of tbb.lib (libtbb.dylib, libtbb.so).

TBB library will be loaded at runtime from <install dir>="">/lib/ia32 directory.

Attention:

All runtime_loader objects (in the same module, i.e. exe or dll) share some global state. The most noticeable piece of global state is loaded TBB library. There are some implications:

-   Only one TBB library can be loaded per module.

-   If one object has already loaded TBB library, another object will not load TBB.
    If the loaded TBB library is suitable for the second object, both will use TBB
    cooperatively, otherwise the second object will report an error.

-   \c runtime_loader objects will not work (correctly) in parallel due to absence of
    syncronization.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum tbb::interface6::runtime_loader::error_code

Error codes.

Enumerator
ec_ok	No errors.
ec_bad_call	Invalid function call (e. g. load() called when TBB is already loaded).
ec_bad_arg	Invalid argument passed.
ec_bad_lib	Invalid library found (e. g. TBB_runtime_version symbol not found).
ec_bad_ver	TBB found but version is not suitable.
ec_no_lib	No suitable TBB library found.

enum tbb::interface6::runtime_loader::error_mode

Error mode constants.

Enumerator
em_status	Save status of operation and continue.
em_throw	Throw an exception of tbb::runtime_loader::error_code type.
em_abort	Print message to stderr and call abort().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

tbb::interface6::runtime_loader::runtime_loader	(	char const *	path[],
		int	min_ver = TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION,
		int	max_ver = INT_MAX,
		error_mode	mode = em_abort
	)

Initialize object and load TBB.

See load() for details.

If error mode is em_status, call status() to check whether TBB was loaded or not.

Parameters

path	List of directories to search TBB in.
min_ver	Minimal suitable version of TBB.
max_ver	Maximal suitable version of TBB.
mode	Error mode for this object.

Member Function Documentation

error_code tbb::interface6::runtime_loader::load	(	char const *	path[],
		int	min_ver = TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION,
		int	max_ver = INT_MAX
	)

Load TBB.

The method searches the directories specified in path[] array for the TBB library. When the library is found, it is loaded and its version is checked. If the version is not suitable, the library is unloaded, and the search continues.

Note:

For security reasons, avoid using relative directory names. For example, never load TBB from current ("."), parent ("..") or any other relative directory (like "lib" ). Use only absolute directory names (e. g. "/usr/local/lib").

For the same security reasons, avoid using system default directories ("") on Windows. (See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/2269637.mspx for details.)

Neglecting these rules may cause your program to execute 3-rd party malicious code.

Errors:

• ec_bad_call - TBB already loaded by this object.
• ec_bad_arg - min_ver and/or max_ver negative or zero, or min_ver > max_ver.
• ec_bad_ver - TBB of unsuitable version already loaded by another object.
• ec_no_lib - No suitable library found.

Parameters

path	List of directories to search TBB in.
min_ver	Minimal suitable version of TBB.
max_ver	Maximal suitable version of TBB.

error_code tbb::interface6::runtime_loader::status

(

)

Report status.

If error mode is em_status, the function returns status of the last operation.
