Can we delete objects created across DLL after FreeLibrary?

In linux (libdl), any object newed by a shared library, must be deleted by the library.

Sometimes dlls aren't unloaded until the process exits, but you shouldn't count on it. Delete the objects before calling FreeLibrary.

In general, I don't think you can free memory allocated in another DLL anyway without getting a page fault.

You can, just have the DLL allocate in its address space and return a pointer. Then you must have the DLL delete it also.
