Even having this tool, I believe the future if Nginx modules is loading
them dynamically via dlopen(), as other webservers do. Maybe Igor has
some roadmap regarding this point…

I think that Igor is not using dynamic loading because there is an
overhead when using it

Best regards, and happy 2008,

I think the overhead would be negligible. Handlers and module code is
already called using function pointers per-module structures.
Dynamically loading the modules would only introduce overhead at
startup (loading them and obtaining pointers to function tables).

Hehe, I’m not too much kind of a “xmas person”, but happy new year to
all
