4. A generic term I use for DLLs, shared objects, etc. is "dynamic library." I suggest that the documentation define that term once, up front, and then use it everywhere else rather than repeating the "DLL, shared object (DSO), etc." phrase. I'd also encourage using that name for the library itself (Boost.DynamicLibrary) and for the shared_object class.
I was trying to keep namings platform neutral: "dynamic library" is too Windows specific, "shared object" is too POSIX specific... Let it bee DLL for library abbreviation and "shared object" mostly in docs and source codes. However it does not seem so right and platform neutral right now, especially when dll::shared_object and dll::library_info are nearby in code. It may be profitable to rename dll::library_info into dll::shared_object_info/dll::binary_info/???
I expect to be able to complete a review sometime next week, if the review manager is inclined to wait for it.
Anyway, I'm interested in your opinion, so please send the review when you'll be ready. Any library related comments from any reviewer are welcomed even after the review end. -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin
