A Qt plugin is stored in a shared library (a DLL) and offers these benefits over shared libraries accessed using QLibrary: \list \li QPluginLoader checks that a plugin is linked against the same version of Qt as the application. \li QPluginLoader provides direct access to a root component object (instance()), instead of forcing you to resolve a C function manually. \endlist An instance of a QPluginLoader object operates on a single shared library file, which we call a plugin. It provides access to the functionality in the plugin in a platform-independent way. To specify which plugin to load, either pass a file name in the constructor or set it with setFileName(). The most important functions are load() to dynamically load the plugin file, isLoaded() to check whether loading was successful, and instance() to access the root component in the plugin. The instance() function implicitly tries to load the plugin if it has not been loaded yet. Multiple instances of QPluginLoader can be used to access the same physical plugin. Once loaded, plugins remain in memory until all instances of QPluginLoader has been unloaded, or until the application terminates. You can attempt to unload a plugin using unload(), but if other instances of QPluginLoader are using the same library, the call will fail, and unloading will only happen when every instance has called unload(). Right before the unloading happen, the root component will also be deleted. See \l{How to Create Qt Plugins} for more information about how to make your application extensible through plugins. Note that the QPluginLoader cannot be used if your application is statically linked against Qt. In this case, you will also have to link to plugins statically. You can use QLibrary if you need to load dynamic libraries in a statically linked application. \sa QLibrary, {Plug & Paint Example} */ /*! \class QStaticPlugin \inmodule QtCore \since 5.2 \brief QStaticPlugin is a struct containing a reference to a static plugin instance together with its meta data. \sa QPluginLoader, {How to Create Qt Plugins} */ /*! \fn QObject *QStaticPlugin::instance() Returns the plugin instance. \sa QPluginLoader::staticInstances() */ /*! \fn const char *QStaticPlugin::rawMetaData() Returns the raw meta data for the plugin. \sa metaData(), Q_PLUGIN_METADATA() */ /*!
