Function Documentation

LoadBackendPlugin()

std::shared_ptr< Backend > continuum::backend::LoadBackendPlugin

(

const std::string &

path

)

dlopen / LoadLibrary path, resolve CONTINUUM_BACKEND_PLUGIN_INIT_SYMBOL, initialize it, and check the vtable's ABI version. The library stays loaded until the returned backend is destroyed. Throws std::runtime_error with the reason on any failure.

MakeBackendFromAbi()

std::shared_ptr< Backend > continuum::backend::MakeBackendFromAbi

(

continuum_backend_vtable_t

vtable

)

Wrap a C ABI vtable (v1 or v2) as a Backend. Throws on an unsupported abi_version.

ParsePluginSpecs()

std::vector< PluginSpec > continuum::backend::ParsePluginSpecs

(

const std::string &

spec

)

Parse name[@priority]=path entries separated by ;, e.g. echo@50=/opt/plugins/libecho.so;other=/x/libother.so. Throws on a malformed entry.

RunBackendConformance()

ConformanceReport continuum::backend::RunBackendConformance	(	Backend &	backend,
		const std::string &	name,
		const ConformanceOptions &	options = {}
	)

Drive backend through capability declaration, a cold and a warm token run (the reused_prefix_len / tokens_saved / used_cached_state metric contract), state export/import round-trip, and a tensor identity op, as applicable to its declared capabilities. This is the bar a new backend must clear; see "Backend conformance" in docs/design/abi.md.
