Libraries

This section describes the ACIS libraries. The libraries are grouped into the following tables:

Table Title Description
ACIS Core Libraries Core libraries for ACIS 3D Geometric Modeler. This does not include components for specific renderers.
Scheme Libraries Libraries for the Scheme interface (including Scheme AIDE application).

For each table, the columns contain the following information:

Library
The libraries unadorned filename. This generally corresponds to the name of the component sub-directory from which the library was built. Any library whose unadorned filename ends in _scm contains Scheme extensions.
 
For Windows, the actual static library filename will be <library>.lib, where <library> is the unadorned library filename. For DLLs, the library filename does not use <library>, but rather the module identifier string (as described in the Type column), plus the current release number. The DLL filename is <MODULE><A3DT_MAJOR><A3DT_MINOR>.DLL, where <MODULE> is the module identifier string, and <A3DT_MAJOR> and <A3DT_MINOR> are environment variables that specify the current major and minor release numbers. For example, SpaABlend.lib would be the core static object library for the Blending Component and Advanced Blending Component, and SpaABlend.DLL would be the core DLL for the Blending Component and Advanced Blending Component.
 
For UNIX systems, the actual library filename will be lib<library>.a for static libraries, and lib<library>.so for shared libraries on most UNIX systems, and lib<library>.sl for shared libraries on HP systems. For example, SpaABlend.sl would be the core object library file for the Blending Component and Advanced Blending Component if built as shared on HP.
 
For Macintosh systems, the actual library name is <library>.lib for component static libraries. For shared libraries, there are only two libraries, AcisCore.shlb and AcisModules.shlb. AcisCore.shlb contains the code for the Kernel Component; AcisModules.shlb contains the code for the other core ACIS components. There is one static library, scmext.lib, that contains all the code from the *_scm subdirectories as well as the contents of the scm_ext subdirectory.
Type
The type of library, either static or shared/DLL.
 
If the type is Static, the library is available only as a static library. If the type is Shared/DLL, the library may be built as either static or shared/DLL, and the second line in this column contains the module identifier string used in library macros (for example, DECL_<MODULE> macro that controls the import/export of symbols from the shared library). Refer to section Library Macros for more information.
Description
A brief description of the library.

The first line is the libraries component. This includes the components top level directory in parentheses. The second line is the identifier string, if any, that is used in initialization and termination routines for this library. Refer to the section Libary Initialization and Termination.
