Syntax

UObject * RequestPlaceholderValue
(
UClass * ObjectType,
const TCHAR * ObjectPath
)

Remarks

Gives external code the ability to create FLinkerPlaceholderBase objects in place of loads that may violate the LOAD_DeferDependencyLoads state. This will only produce a placeholder if LOAD_DeferDependencyLoads is set for this linker.

For now, this will only produce UClass placeholders, as that is the only type we've identified needing.

Returns

A FLinkerPlaceholderBaseUObject that can be used in place of the import dependency.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
ObjectType	The expected type of the object you want to defer loading of.
ObjectPath	The full object/package path for the expected object.
