Plugins: Load Pipeline

The load pipeline is the process that occurs when Il2CppInspector is fed an IL2CPP application, loads it and analyzes it.

Manipulating the load pipeline is the primary way to add customized decryption and de-obfuscation to Il2CppInspector.

Figure 1 below shows the loading process for a specified IL2CPP application, with plugin call sites in red.

Plugins which intercept the load pipeline must implement the ILoadPipeline interface. All methods are optional and the default is to do nothing.

The LoadPipeline example plugin documents the purpose of each call site and shows some of the ways you can query and manipulate the pipeline.
