core vs non-core again. Clearly mud hackers will need to be able to run test
muds on non-networked machines. The question is, how do we support them?
If networking is just another module, they can drop out the tcp module and

yes, I agree with Chris, there is absolutely no reason why new interfaces
should not be added at runtime. I do have a niggling question, though: if
Module A uses Interface B, and Module C implements interface B, how
does A get ahold of the proper declarations for Interface B? That is, if B has
function "string foo (double)", and A wants to use it, does A have to declare a
function pointer
string (*foo) (double);
and do the dynamic resolution when it's loaded? Then every module that uses
interface B needs to declare the prototype for foo, and at this point you might
think, "they should all include a header file". This might be the way to go.
I would do this using static constructors in C++, so it would all happen
magically at load-time without much work on the module writer's part. In
C, something like the following could work (I tested this with egcs-1.0.3, I
would assume it is legal...) I have neglected interfaces per se
and just looked at function pointers.
#include <stdio.h>
int _foo (int a, const char *b)
{
/* let's pretend I'm really from another module */
return a + atoi (b);
}
void *_lookup (const char *returns, const char *name, const char *args)
{
/* let's pretend I'm part of the Module Connector */
return _foo;
}
/* God bless those macros */
#define declare(ret,name,args) ret (*name) args
#define resolve(ret,name,args) name = _lookup (#ret, #name, #args)
#define foo_args (int, const char *)
declare (int, foo, foo_args);
int main (void)
{
resolve (int, foo, foo_args);
printf ("2 + 2 = %d\n", foo (2, "2"));
return 0;
}

as I suggest above, headers might still come in handy if you have fifty modules
using interface B, and don't want to keep their prototypes in sync.

in Perl, I can "use Foo" and Foo's symbols then appear in my namespace.
Let me propose the following:
1. All modules, no matter what their language, have some glue in C or C++ which
is responsible for hooking them into the core.
2. That glue should be fairly easy to write and understand. We can write
something like perl's xsubpp to automate its creation; different languages will
require different sorts of glue code, and we would need to write autogenerators
for each such language.
3. In order to import an interface, the glue code should #include a
header file containing the proper prototypes and typedefs
4. The glue code should include an _init (DLLMain on Win32) which resolves
all symbols from external modules and aborts the load if any symbols are
unresolved.
5. If the module has some initialization of its own, it can define some
specially named function (let's say "bootstrap") which the glue code will
look for and call if appropriate.
thoughts?
