Operation Modes

The Custom Library Tool (CLT) has two operation modes:

• Build mode (--generate=none or no --generate option): The tool automatically sets the environment and builds a dynamic/shared library.

• Generation mode: The tool generates and saves a custom build script using one of two dispatchers:

  • Dynamic dispatcher (--generate, --generate=dynamic): Library initialization happens before a call of any custom dispatcher function:

    • Manually when generating a custom dispatcher script without building a custom library.

    • In dynamic/shared library initialization function (generated automatically by CLT) when building a custom library.

  • Static dispatcher (--generate=static): Enables custom dispatcher functions to initialize a library (if it hasn’t been initialized yet) before the call of the dispatched function.
