<html><head></head><body><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div>ok, I don't see a problem here. the only symbol a Pd external exports (or should export) is the setup function - which is retrieved "manually" with GetProcAddress / dlsym. In theory all Pd externs could have the same setup function, at least on the platforms I know... Note that for example VST plugins all export the same entry point and it seems to work fine :-)

<div>I'm talking about the system library on each OS responsible for dynamically loading</div>
<div>and searching objects into the running process. Like dlopen/dlsym</div>
