Re: writing plugin with .net language (C#)

 

nice, now i know more about how dynamic loader works, in other words the
pluging code just need to know CDECL calls

i have another problem, if i need to read data from the daemond plugin
using a information schema plugin, hwo could i:
1) search the plugin at mariadb code?
2) how to lock the data to daemond don't change while i'm reading (mutex or
read/write lock)
3) how to read the data
4) how to unlock the data
5) how to unload the daemon plugin without broken the information schema
plugin (a running read)

it's two plugins "communicating" inside mariadb server processes

about golang, it's something like run a C code inside mariadb and use GO
language as 'higher level language'? i'm seeing that any language with
CDECL could work, right? cgo, .net, c, c++, and others
