<h1 class="section">Loading Dynamic Objects</h1> <table class="cartouche" border="1"><tr><td> <blockquote> <p><b>Warning:</b> The <code>load</code> directive and extension capability is considered a “technology preview” in this release of GNU make. We encourage you to experiment with this feature and we appreciate any feedback on it. However we cannot guarantee to maintain backward-compatibility in the next release. Consider using GNU Guile instead for extending GNU make (see <a href="guile-function">The <code>guile</code> Function</a>). </p>
</blockquote> </td></tr></table> <p>Many operating systems provide a facility for dynamically loading compiled objects. If your system provides this facility, GNU <code>make</code> can make use of it to load dynamic objects at runtime, providing new capabilities which may then be invoked by your makefile. </p> <p>The <code>load</code> directive is used to load a dynamic object. Once the object is loaded, a “setup” function will be invoked to allow the object to initialize itself and register new facilities with GNU <code>make</code>. A dynamic object might include new <code>make</code> functions, for example, and the “setup” function would register them with GNU <code>make</code>’s function handling system. </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr>
