Unloadable libraries

In some cases, the architecture of an application requires that shared libraries are loaded and unloaded dynamically during the execution in order to optimizing memory usage.

Rational® Test RealTime supports this behavior by allowing you to specify this in the Configuration settings of the project. There are two steps to this:

• Define a shared library as unloadable

• Specify an application as using unloadable libraries

To use unloadable libraries in a project:

1. In theProject Explorer, click theSettings button.
2. Select an applicationor testnode in theProject Explorerpane.
3. In theConfiguration Settingslist, expandBuild > Build Target Deployment Port.
4. OnUse unloadable library, selectYes.
5. Select the library node of your unloadable shared library in theProject Explorerpane.
6. In theConfiguration Settingslist, expandBuild > Build Target Deployment Port.
7. OnBuild as unloadable library, selectYes.
8. When you have finished, clickOKto validate the changes.
