In witch situation we need to use dynamic loading instead of dynamic linking? In advanced linux programming I read that it used for writing plugins, any one could explain more?

    On most platforms, dynamic linking *uses* dynamic loading, but not explicitly in your code. Your system's loader uses dynamic loading to resolve dynamic link dependencies. – Kerrek SB May 31 '14 at 13:10
  • Not a good question for SO, there are too many answers and many will be a matter of opinion or aesthetics. It's like asking how many recipes should I use butter in, instead of margarine. – Tony Hopkinson May 31 '14 at 13:12
