Implementing a simple plug-in architecture

[Imortis]

But were these plugins programmed by others or the authors itself?

I personally programmed a couple plugins for FBEdit.

Thank you for having add code to prevent these memory leaks.

No problem. I'm also a perfectionist ;)

I fail to see your point here. If you expose an interface (and document it if it's not self-documenting) then everyone should be able to code one...

obviously his point was that nobody other than the author of the program writes plugins for it, which he was proven wrong.

Writing plugins for ones own program can reduce filesize of the executable a bit, because unneeded plugins can be deactivated and unloaded. Then it has sense, thats right.
