I guess the best way would be a wrapper service. Unfortunately, I have no experience with this yet.

I am afraid that I have unknowingly used a glitch in the past. My simple example don't work for any EPICS Base version. But up to EPICS Base
3.14.12.8 I could unload the library by using the destructor function of a static object in my interface library.
After
compiling CA Lab with EPICS Base 7, LabVIEW now freezes completely when you close a VI with CA Lab modules. This problem is new and very critical.
Could you modify the loader and your interface code so that LabView loads the CA and Com DLLs separately from your interface code? My idea is for you to avoid having to unload the CA and Com DLL's, just release all your channels and destroy your CA context,
then unloading and reloading your interface code wouldn’t require reloading them?

Hi Carsten,
I’m not aware of anything that has actually been added to libCom or libca recently to prevent a completely shutdown; are you saying that you used to be able to unload the CA library and you can’t now? I don’t believe this has ever been possible
(which is probably what Michael is also going by), but I might be wrong – please let us know what version of Base you were using if and when you could do that.
If it’s your requirement that has changed we would be happy to advise someone how to work out what needs to be modified to allow the complete unloading that you’re looking for, but I can’t promise that we’ll have core developer effort available
to do the actual investigation and any development needed (we all manage our own time and have our own priorities controlled by our employers, so I can’t speak for the others).

thank you for your answer. This are bad news for our community. Many users are waiting for an EPICS Base upgrade for the Open Source software
CaLab (interface beween LabVIEW and EPICS).
Best reganrds

libca and especially libCom can't be completely shutdown, and therefore
can't be safely unloaded.

Hi,
for a project I need to load and unload the Channel Access context in a
shared library. Loading is no problem but unloading. It always fails
during ca_context_destroy() function.
Here is my demo code:
main.cpp (most simple case for a bigger project where it's necessary to
load and unload different shared libraries at runtime without
terminating main application)
----------------------------------------------------------
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
HINSTANCE hinstLib;
BOOL fFreeResult;
hinstLib = LoadLibrary(TEXT("myCaLib.dll"));
if (hinstLib == NULL) {
std::cout << "myCaLib.dll not found" << std::endl;
return 1;
}
std::cout << "library loaded; hit ENTER to unload" << std::endl;
getchar();
fFreeResult = FreeLibrary(hinstLib);
std::cout << "bye" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
_______________________________________________________________________
myCaLib.cpp (most simple shared library with no functions except
creating and releasing the Channel Access context)
--------------------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <cadef.h>
#include <windows.h>
BOOLEAN WINAPI DllMain(HINSTANCE hDllHandle, DWORD nReason, LPVOID
Reserved) {
switch (nReason)
{
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH: {
int32_t iResult =
ca_context_create(ca_enable_preemptive_callback);
if (iResult != ECA_NORMAL) {
std::cout << "Error: Could not create any instance of
Channel Access." << std::endl;
return 0;
}
std::cout << "New instance of Channel Access context." <<
std::endl;
std::cout << ca_context_status(ca_current_context(), 1) <<
std::endl;
break;
}
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH: {
std::cout << "detach process ... " << std::endl;
ca_context_destroy();
break;
}
}
return 1;
}

test.exe will freeze because it hangs on ca_context_destroy()
I need any solution for this case, please.
Best regards
Carsten
