Warnings in MacOS

[danigargu]

Hi,

A very useful plugin!
When i start IDA in MacOS, I receive the following "warnings":

dlopen(/Applications/IDA Pro 7.2/ida64.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/ida_palette64.dylib): dlopen(/Applications/IDA Pro 7.2/ida64.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/ida_palette64.dylib, 2): Symbol not found: _PyBaseObject_Type
  Referenced from: /Applications/IDA Pro 7.2/ida64.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/ida_palette64.dylib
  Expected in: flat namespace
 in /Applications/IDA Pro 7.2/ida64.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/ida_palette64.dylib
/Applications/IDA Pro 7.2/ida64.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/ida_palette64.dylib: can't load file

But then the plugin works correctly.
Thanks!

Hello, thanks for using the plugin! 👍

Just investigated the issue and found that it was because of the loading order:
ifred is loaded before IDAPython and relies on run-time linking (<self>) like pybind11 does.

Fortunately, IDA Pro scans and loads the plugins once again, but the warning still exists.

Maybe a separated python plugin (plugins/*.py) that loads ida_palette64.dylib and skips can be made (locally worked). I'll be likely choosing this way. If so, I'll attach a bootstrapper plugin from next release.

Or, statically linking ifred with libpython2.7.dylib, I must find out how IDAPython is linked. otool -L says that it uses /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python in my mac, but I'm still not sure if it applies to all of IDA >=7.0 versions.

This is fixed in bf63c2e by linking the plugin with IDAPython plugin.
Huge thanks for the report!
