Update templates without restarting the app in CppCms

Question

In this tutorial, it says:

Dynamic linking is a little bit more tricky, but it is much more powerful as it allows you to load skins without relinking the application. You can even update your application without needing to restart it.

So I decided to put it to the test, and while the app was running, I replaced libmy_skin.so file with another skin.

The skin in the running app did not change.

Is the statement above incorrect, or did I do something wrong?

Answer 1
