Hello,
On OS-X, this works:
(define-foreign-library libc
(t (:default "libc")))
(use-foreign-library libc)
But this doesn't:
(define-foreign-library libc
(t (:or "libc" "libc.so.6")))
(use-foreign-library libc)
This seems to be because load-foreign-library doesn't attempt to
guess the appropriate suffix for the library name when used with :or.
This is the documented behavior but it could be a little confusing
since the second example appears to the naive (like me) to be a super-
set of the first example.
Also:
(define-foreign-library libc
(:unix (:or "libc.so.6"))
(t (:default "libc")))
(use-foreign-library libc)
Doesn't work since OS-X is unix, but not linux. Maybe after failing
on the specific case (i.e. unix), it could fall back to the general
case?
I could try and provide patches for one or both of these behaviors if
people think that this would be an improvement.
best,
-Hazen
