Hello

I am newbie, so I do not if my question is stupid or not.

Well I have general task (main) and several other task.
Now I compile and linker to obtain a unique bin file.

Now I am interesting in create a several objects, and main process call other extern objects to execute it.

Can I do it??

Best regards
John

I'm not sure what you mean, but you can always link to object files as long as you have the headers:

gcc fileA.o fileB.c -o test

If you mean a 'plugin', that is an extensive subject covered in books. You can also look at existing code such as FireFox or the GIMP. (I don't know of any simple code that uses plugins.)

Hi pinniped,

The first option is that I use now.

And now I am looking for some idea to lunch other objects like "plugins".
Well, it is a good idea.

I have supposed that .o file can call or execute for other process.

Thanks a lot.
