Hot Loader Demo

You can run this with go run main.go:

• Runs the module-compiler on the boilerplate, demo, and CLI controllers.
• Executes the CLI pre-configured to load the demo plugins + controllers.
• Exits a few seconds after successfully loading + executing

This is an end to end demo of plugin build + load via modules.

There are additional scripts to run the demo using the hot-builder CLI interface, and/or to run the codegen and stop.

Known Issues

Note: this is currently not working properly, possibly due to Go module incompatibilities:

WARN[0000] unable to load plugin file controller=controllerbus/hot/loader/filesystem/1 error="plugin.Open("plugins/example.cbus-hot-abcdef.cbus"): plugin was built with a different version of package cbus-hot-abcdef/github.com/aperturerobotics/controllerbus/example/boilerplate/controller

However, the "hot compilation" system is nevertheless useful for bundling together controllers into IPC libraries that are then hosted by the IPC host controller. The IPC system will be used until the Go "plugin" DLL loading system is better supported, particularly with unloading modules.
