A C library that loads Windows DLLs entirely from memory without writing them to disk, bypassing the filesystem-only limitation of LoadLibrary. It implements PE format parsing and manual module loading.
Use cases
- load a dll from memory without writing to disk
- embed a dll inside an executable and load it at runtime
- avoid dropping temporary dll files to the filesystem
- make disassembling of bundled libraries harder
- implement a custom PE loader for windows
When to choose
- you need to load DLLs from memory buffers on Windows
- you want to distribute a single executable with embedded libraries
- you want to avoid temp-file workarounds for in-memory DLL loading
When to avoid
- you just need standard DLL loading from files
- you target non-Windows platforms
- you need managed/.NET assembly loading
