Unload/reload plugin not refreshing correctly

[fruit...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm compiling a plugin in a different environment from usually, and I'm experiencing some weird behaviors :
What I usually do when I modify my plugin is (in a scene where the plugin is loaded already) :
- delete any node from the plugin
- flush undo
- unload the plugin
- reload the plugin
- create my node

What happens here is my plugin won't be updated, even after recompiling / unloading-reloading it. If I restart maya, however, it will reload my plugin correctly.

I assume maya is keeping the .so in memory somehow (maybe creating an nfs copy ? but I couldn't find it), but I wonder how to clear it, and why it never happened to me before...

Any idea ?
Thanks

(I tried with maya 2016, 2017, 2018, on linux)

So no working solution, really (based on your thread) ? How did you figure this out ?

I didn't find solution, sadly

So apparently it has to do with my environment when I compile. I may have found a solution (or at least I wanna try it, as it looks really like magic to me !)
