35/// \class DynamicLoader DynamicLoader.h "lldb/Target/DynamicLoader.h"
36/// A plug-in interface definition class for dynamic loaders.
37///
38/// Dynamic loader plug-ins track image (shared library) loading and
39/// unloading. The class is initialized given a live process that is halted at
40/// its entry point or just after attaching.
41///
42/// Dynamic loader plug-ins can track the process by registering callbacks
43/// using the: Process::RegisterNotificationCallbacks (const Notifications&)
44/// function.
45///
46/// Breakpoints can also be set in the process which can register functions
47/// that get called using: Process::BreakpointSetCallback (lldb::user_id_t,
48/// BreakpointHitCallback, void *). These breakpoint callbacks return a
49/// boolean value that indicates if the process should continue or halt and
50/// should return the global setting for this using:
51/// DynamicLoader::StopWhenImagesChange() const.
53public:
