<h2 id="thread-safety" class="section-header"><a href="#thread-safety">Thread-safety</a></h2>
<p>The implementation strives to be as MT-safe as sanely possible, however due to certain
error-handling related resources not always being safe, this library is not MT-safe either.</p>
<ul>
<li>On Windows Vista and earlier error handling falls back to <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms680621(v=vs.85).aspx"><code>SetErrorMode</code></a>, which is not
MT-safe. MT-scenarios involving this function may cause a traditional data race;</li>
<li>On some UNIX targets <code>dlerror</code> might not be MT-safe, resulting in garbage error messages
in certain MT-scenarios.</li>
</ul>
<p>Calling this function from multiple threads is not safe if used in conjunction with
path-less filename and library search path is modified (<code>SetDllDirectory</code> function on
Windows, <code>{DY,}LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> environment variable on UNIX).</p>
<h2 id="platform-specific-behaviour" class="section-header"><a href="#platform-specific-behaviour">Platform-specific behaviour</a></h2>
<p>When a plain library filename is supplied, locations where library is searched for is
platform specific and cannot be adjusted in a portable manner.</p>
<h3 id="windows" class="section-header"><a href="#windows">Windows</a></h3>
<p>If the <code>filename</code> specifies a library filename without path and with extension omitted,
<code>.dll</code> extension is implicitly added. This behaviour may be suppressed by appending a
trailing <code>.</code> to the <code>filename</code>.</p>
<p>If the library contains thread local variables (MSVCs <code>_declspec(thread)</code>, Rusts
<code>#[thread_local]</code> attributes), loading the library will fail on versions prior to Windows
Vista.</p>
<h2 id="tips" class="section-header"><a href="#tips">Tips</a></h2>
<p>Distributing your dynamic libraries under a filename common to all platforms (e.g.
<code>awesome.module</code>) allows to avoid code which has to account for platforms conventional
library filenames.</p>
<p>Strive to specify absolute or relative path to your library, unless system-wide libraries
are being loaded. Platform-dependent library search locations combined with various quirks
related to path-less filenames may cause flaky code.</p>
