And this was sarcasm too.
damn, my sarcasm-O-meter failed miserably...
I was using [declare -lib hid] because this is how I load libraries in general.
"-lib" is only needed for multi-object-per-binary libraries, e.g. zexy and iemlib. [declare -lib hid] doesn't do anything useful, the external will be loaded anyway when you create it the first time...
As oliver kindly pointed out yes I do only load libs when they are needed by the patch. And I do so with [declare -lib] to make it well visible and have all libs loaded at one spot in the patch. At this point I don't want to care about the single-object-lib versus multi-object-lib difference which is the reason I started this thread. [declare] sadly behaves differently for these two cases, a situation which I think should be improved in order to make lib loading easier for novices.
