Re: [Dev-C++] Costum script at runtime?

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

They can never get tocal control of everything unless they write a dll
file, that you load. This also requires that you export all symbols.

For a plugin (any language) to be able to access a function in a program,
that program must be exported unless we are talking about programs that
fakes menu choices or button presses.

The reason I mentioned Java is that it is quite easy to have the
user enter source code, and then exec the compiler to generate a
runnable module.

But if you check at open-source script languages. Several existing have
support where you export a number of functions that the script language
may access.
