33 /// It is designed so that when an object of this class goes
34 /// out of scope all the libraries loaded by it are unloaded. In this
35 /// manner, loaded libraries are automatically unloaded at the end of
36 /// execution. Libraries are loaded with RTDL_LOCAL option, which
37 /// means that they are not accessible from outside. Still, if they
38 /// contain self-registering classes, they will register themselves
39 /// to the ActionRegister object.
