The possibility of using external libraries (that are loaded at runtime) has been available in C/C++ from the beginning, but in Fortran became only available in Fortran2003.  
The possibility of using external libraries (that are loaded at runtime) has been available in C/C++ for a long time, but in Fortran became only available as of Fortran2003.  


In the case of XDS, frame-reading and computation can be separated starting with version November-2016. This allows users/companies to develop their own specialized frame-reading libraries, and relieves the XDS maintainers from implementing even more file formats.
In the case of XDS, frame-reading and computation can be separated starting with version November-2016. The [https://xds.mr.mpg.de/html_doc/xds_parameters.html#LIB= LIB=] keyword allows users/companies to develop their own specialized frame-reading libraries, and relieves the XDS maintainers from implementing even more file formats. The feature was developed in order to be able to natively (i.e. without temporary intermediates) read the HDF5 files written for data from the [[Eiger]] detector.

The interface was designed by Markus Mathes (Dectris), Vittorio Boccone (Dectris) and Kay Diederichs. It is supposed to be generic, i.e. useful beyond XDS. In particular, the 4096 bytes of the info_array can be utilized to obtain and use header information (e.g. wavelength, distance, axes specifications and other metadata).

Google returns https://github.com/apple/cups/issues/4410 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1065695 when searching for similar problems. Overall, this appears to be harmless and in fact I don't know how to change the code to make the segfault disappear  - I'd appreciate a patch!

Feb 3, 2021: commented out the line 'status=dlclose(handle)' and replaced it with 'status=0'. According to Sebastian Thorarensen this has no negative consequences on XDS, and solves the segfault problem.
