+/**
+ * # CategorySharedObject
+ *
+ * System-dependent library loading routines.
+ *
+ * Shared objects are code that is programmatically loadable at runtime.
+ * Windows calls these "DLLs", Linux calls them "shared libraries", etc.
+ *
+ * To use them, build such a library, then call SDL_LoadObject() on it. Once
+ * loaded, you can use SDL_LoadFunction() on that object to find the address
+ * of its exported symbols. When done with the object, call SDL_UnloadObject()
+ * to dispose of it.
+ *
+ * Some things to keep in mind:
+ *
+ * - These functions only work on C function names. Other languages may have
+ *   name mangling and intrinsic language support that varies from compiler to
+ *   compiler.
+ * - Make sure you declare your function pointers with the same calling
+ *   convention as the actual library function. Your code will crash
+ *   mysteriously if you do not do this.
+ * - Avoid namespace collisions. If you load a symbol from the library, it is
+ *   not defined whether or not it goes into the global symbol namespace for
+ *   the application. If it does and it conflicts with symbols in your code or
+ *   other shared libraries, you will not get the results you expect. :)
+ * - Once a library is unloaded, all pointers into it obtained through
+ *   SDL_LoadFunction() become invalid, even if the library is later reloaded.
+ *   Don't unload a library if you plan to use these pointers in the future.
+ *   Notably: beware of giving one of these pointers to atexit(), since it may
+ *   call that pointer after the library unloads.
