Right before the unloading happen, the root component will also be deleted. - In order to speed up loading and validation of plugins, some of - the information that is collected during loading is cached in - persistent memory (through QSettings). For instance, the result - of a load operation (e.g. succeeded or failed) is stored in the - cache, so that subsequent load operations don't try to load an - invalid plugin. However, if the "last modified" timestamp of - a plugin has changed, the plugin's cache entry is invalidated - and the plugin is reloaded regardless of the values in the cache - entry. The cache entry is then updated with the new result of the - load operation. - - This also means that the timestamp must be updated each time the - plugin or any dependent resources (such as a shared library) is - updated, since the dependent resources might influence the result - of loading a plugin. - See \l{How to Create Qt Plugins} for more information about how to make your application extensible through plugins. |
