Plug-in loading method and plug-in loading system

Abstract

The invention discloses a plug-in loading method and a plug-in loading system. The method includes the following steps: when software is started, a plug-in folder is scanned; plug-in files in the plug-in folder are read, the attribute characteristics of the read plug-in files are judged according to preset security conditions, and if the attribute characteristics of the plug-in files meet the security conditions, then the plug-in files are secure and usable plug-in files; the file names of the secure and usable plug-in files in the plug-in folder are stored into a plug-in list file; the plug-in files corresponding to the file names in the plug-in list file are parsed one by one, the plug-in description information of each plug-in file is extracted, moreover, whether the formats of the plug-in description information are correct is judged, and the plug-in description information with correct formats is stored into a plug-in object list file; a plug-in function tree is created, the plug-in object list file is read, and all the plug-in objects recorded in the plug-in object list file are loaded onto the plug-in function tree; and according to the plug-in function tree, each functional object is added into the main window interface of the software to realize function extension.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to a plug-in loading method and system. Background technique [0002] In real-world application scenarios, no matter how large a piece of software is, it cannot meet and cover all requirements. Therefore, the setting software has extended functions, so that users can load the functional modules they need into the software. Wherein, the function module may exist in the form of a plug-in. [0003] Chinese invention application CN201010163167.1 proposes a method for loading plug-ins. When the software is initialized, each plug-in in the extension directory is loaded, and the relevant information of each plug-in is stored in the registry. The relevant information includes at least the ID of the plug-in, Interface description information, function description information and class loader; monitor the extension directory in real time, if a new plug-in appears in the extension directory,...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the above solution has the following disadvantages: the extended directory needs to be monitored in real time during the running of the software, and during the whole process of running the software, the real-time monitored extended directory always occupies a certain amount of CPU and memory resources, resulting in a decline in the overall performance of the computer system
