Implementation:Ollama Ollama MLXRunner MLX Generated C

Overview

Auto-generated C source file containing function pointer declarations and dynamic symbol loading for all MLX C API functions.

Description

This file declares function pointers (initialized to NULL) for every MLX C API function, then provides a mlx_dynamic_load_symbols function that resolves all symbols from a dynamically loaded library handle using CHECK_LOAD macros. The wrapper functions call through these function pointers, enabling runtime binding rather than link-time binding. This file is generated by the generator/main.go tool and should not be edited manually.

Usage

Included at compile time by the CGo layer to provide the dynamic loading implementation. Enables Ollama to optionally use MLX without requiring it at compile time.

I/O Contract

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
handle	void*	Yes	Dynamically loaded library handle from dlopen

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
(side effect)	void	All function pointers are resolved and set to non-NULL

Usage Examples

// Called during MLX initialization
void* handle = dlopen("libmlx.dylib", RTLD_LAZY);
mlx_dynamic_load_symbols(handle);

// Now all MLX functions can be called through the wrappers
mlx_array arr = mlx_array_new_float(1.0f);
