And since the error is thrown while evaluating `alien.default.memrchr` during parsing, if blows up even when wrapped in pcall (or even `if false then ... end` for that matter).

Not sure what you mean by "during parsing": it's just the same as

s = "memchr"

f = alien.default[s]

 

Technically agreed, but now I've figured out how to write a brute-force reverse search in Lua with the alien APIs, I plan to avoid the nastiness of carrying a single symbol loadable C module with Zile for non-GNU platforms only.

How? Did I miss something?

 

But `memrchr` is a GNU extension, so that's a can of worms...

OK, libgnu if you insist. I think building a separate libposix is a bit pointless.
