What Is Dynamic Function Loading?
Imagine a large, historic building wholly packed with books called a library. Rather than books, this library consists of functions, which are short bits of code that carry out particular operations. Just like you wouldn't want to carry around an entire library's worth of books just to read one story, you don't want to load all the functions in a library to use one or two of them. This is where dynamic function loading comes into play; think of it as being able to borrow only the precise books you require rather than lug around the entire library. The goal of #DynamicFunctionLoading is to maximize productivity while minimizing the waste of available resources. It enables you to load only the functionalities you require when needed instead of doing everything at the beginning. This can be especially helpful if you have an extensive application with much functionality, as it can help minimize overall memory usage and the amount of time it takes to start the application. Lazy loading loads function only when they are initially called. This is like visiting the library and requesting a particular book rather than attempting to carry the complete collection of books. Use #JustInTimeCompilation to load functions dynamically. JIT compiles functions on demand instead of before the program executes. This can be handy if you have tasks used sparingly since it can conserve resources by compiling them only when needed. If you have functions like this, it can be helpful to have parts that are used sparingly. #DynamicLinkLibrary (DLL) is a means by which dynamic function loading can be implemented on Windows. DLLs, or dynamic link libraries, are collections of programme code that an application may be loaded and utilize while running. This enables you to split the code for different portions of your application and load the necessary portions. It also allows you to alter or replace the code in a DLL without recompiling the entire application.
