Re: [Bug-apl] New native function resolution has problems

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Elias,

both is on purpose. Absolute filenames are fallbacks if the other mechanisms
fail and in that case the entire path must be correct.

The return value of 0 is how ⎕FX is defined by IBM APL2 (the failed line number
which is the header in this case). The ISO standard is a bit different.

When specifying a path that contains slashes but no file extension, the quad-FX function does not attempt to append the library suffix. This results in the following error:

Could not find shared library '/home/emartenson/prog/gnu-apl-mode/native/libemacs'.

The following directories and file names were tried (without success):

    /home/emartenson/prog/gnu-apl-mode/native/libemacs

Another question: Does it really make sense to display a zero when an error occurs? Wouldn't a DOMAIN ERROR be better?
