The mechanism ensures that used libraries are not unloaded. This prevents crashes if library code is being used after unloading the library. The unloading mechanism currently only works with libraries which contain UNO services. A library cannot be unloaded if one of the following conditions apply
Because of the inherent danger of crashing the application by using this API all instances which control threads should be registered listeners. On notification they have to ensure that their threads assume a safe state, that is, they run outside of modules which could be unloaded and do not jump back into module code as a result of a finished function call. In other words, there must not be an address of the module on the thread's stack.
Since current operating systems lack APIs in respect to controlling the position of threads within libraries, it would be a major effort to comply with that recommendation. The best and most efficient way of handling the unloading scenario is to let all threads, except for the main thread, die in case of a notification.
Use this API with great care because it might crash the application. See the
respective documentation (Library Unloading) on the udk.openoffice.org web site.

/**
A library which supports unloading has to implement and export a function
called component_canUnload
.
If the function returns sal_True
then the module can be safely unloaded.
That is the case when there are no external references to code within the
library. In case a module houses UNO components then the function must return
sal_False
after the first factory has been handed out. The function then
continues to return sal_False
as long as there is at least one object (factory
or service instance) which originated from the module.
Libraries which not only contain UNO components (or none at all) have to provide a means to control whether they can be unloaded or not, e.g. However, there is no concept yet.
The argument pTime
is an optional out-parameter. If the return value is
sal_True
then pTime
reflects a point in time since
when the module could have
been unloaded. Since that time the function would have continually returned
sal_True
up to the present. The value of pTime
is
important for the decision
as to a module will be unloaded. When someone initiates the unloading of
modules by calling rtl_unloadUnusedModules
then the caller can specify a time
span with the effect that only those modules are unloaded which are unused at
least for that amount of time. If component_canUnload
does not
fill in pTime
then the module is unloaded immediately.
component_canUnload
is implicitly called by rtl_unloadUnusedModules
. There is no need to call the function directly.

/**
By registering a module, one declares that a module supports the
unloading mechanism. One registers a module by calling this function.
A module can only be unloaded from memory when it has been registered
as many times as it has been loaded. The reason is that a library can
be "loaded" several times by osl_loadModule
within the same process. The
function will then return the same module handle because the library will
effectively only be loaded once. To remove the library from memory it is
necessary to call osl_unloadModule
as often as
osl_loadModule
was called. The
function rtl_unloadUnusedModules
calls osl_unloadModule
for a module as many
times as it was registered. If, for example, a module has been registered one
time less then osl_loadModule
has been called and the module can be unloaded
then it needs a call to rtl_unloadUnusedModules
and an explicit call to
osl_unloadModule
to remove the module from memory.
A module must be registered every time it has been loaded otherwise the unloading mechanism is not effective.
Before a module is registered, one has to make sure that the module is in a
state that prevents it from being unloaded. In other words,
component_canUnload
must return sal_False
. Assuming that
component_canUnload
returns sal_True
and it is registered regardless, then a call to
rtl_unloadUnusedModules
causes the module to be unloaded. This unloading can
be set off by a different thread and the thread which registered the module is
"unaware" of this. Then when the first thread tries to obtain a factory or
calls another function in the module, the application will crash, because the
module has been unloaded before. Therefore one has to ensure that the module
cannot be unloaded before it is registered. This is simply done by obtaining a
factory from the module. As long as a factory or some other object, which has
been created by the factory, is alive, the component_canUnload
function will
return sal_False
.
Loading and registering have to be in this order:
osl_loadModule
)component_getFactory
function and get a factory
rtl_unloadUnusedModules
unregisters the modules which it unloads. Therefore
there is no need to call this function unless one means to prevent the unloading of a module.

This function sets off the unloading mechanism. At first it notifies the
unloading listeners in order to give them a chance to do cleanup and get
their threads in a safe state. Then all registered modules are asked if they
can be unloaded. That is, the function calls component_canUnload on every
registered module. If sal_True
is returned then osl_unloadModule
is called for the belonging module as often as it is registered.
A call to osl_unloadModule
does not guarantee that the module is unloaded even
if its component_canUnload
function returns sal_True
.
The optional in-parameter libUnused
specifies a period of time which a library
must be unused in order to qualify for being unloaded. By using this argument
one can counter the multithreading problem as described further above. It is in
the responsibility of the user of this function to provide a timespan big enough
to ensure that all threads are out of modules (see component_canUnload
).
The service managers which have been created by functions such as
createRegistryServiceFactory
(declared in cppuhelper/servicefactory.hxx) are
registered listeners and release the references to factories on notification.

Pointers to rtl_ModuleCount

functions: createSingleComponentFactory

The factory implementation is calling rtl_ModuleCount.acquire
when it is being
constructed and it is calling rtl_ModuleCount.release

acquire
and release
should influence the return value of component_canUnload
in a way that it
returns sal_False

may cause
component_canUnload
to return sal_False
, but only if there are
no object alive which
originated from the module. These objects are factory instances and the service instances
which have been created by these factories.
It is not necessary to synchronize acquire
and release
as a whole.
Simply sychronize the
access to a counter variable, e.g. the rtl_moduleCount_release
implementation:
extern "C" void rtl_moduleCount_acquire(rtl_ModuleCount * that ) { rtl_StandardModuleCount* pMod= (rtl_StandardModuleCount*)that; osl_atomic_increment( &pMod->counter); }The SAL library offers functions that can be used for
