3.3.1.4 Shared Library Related Attributes

• Shared_Library_Prefix

  Specifies the prefix of the file names of shared libraries. When this attribute is not specified, the prefix is lib. Example:

     for Shared_Library_Prefix use ""; --  for Windows, if needed
    

• Shared_Library_Suffix

  Specifies the suffix of the file names of shared libraries. When this attribute is not specified, the suffix is .so. Example:

     for Shared_Library_Suffix use ".dll"; --  for Windows
    

• Symbolic_Link_Supported

  Specifies if symbolic links are supported by the platforms. The possible values of this attribute are "false" (the default) and "true". When this attribute is not specified, symbolic links are not supported.

     for Symbolic_Link_Supported use "true";
    

• Library_Major_Minor_ID_Supported

  Specifies if major and minor IDs are supported for shared libraries. The possible values of this attribute are "false" (the default) and "true". When this attribute is not specified, major and minor IDs are not supported.

     for Library_Major_Minor_ID_Supported use "True";
    

• Library_Auto_Init_Supported

  Specifies if library auto initialization is supported. The possible values of this attribute are "false" (the default) and "true". When this attribute is not specified, library auto initialization is not supported.

     for Library_Auto_Init_Supported use "true";
    

• Shared_Library_Minimum_Switches

  Specifies the minimum options to be used when building a shared library. These options are put in the appropriate section in the library exchange file when the library builder is invoked. Example:

     for Shared_Library_Minimum_Switches use  ("-shared");
    

• Library_Version_Switches

  Specifies the option or options to be used when a library version is used. These options are put in the appropriate section in the library exchange file when the library builder is invoked. Example:

     for Library_Version_Switches use ("-Wl,-soname,");
    

• Runtime_Library_Dir (<language>)

  Specifies the directory for the runtime libraries for the language. Example:

     for Runtime_Library_Dir ("Ada") use "/path/to/adalib";
    

  This attribute is used by GPRlib to link shared libraries with Ada code.
