Hello all,
Attached is my attempt at calling dlopen() from Pharo, and it is not going well. The C code below works as expected, so the problem has to be either in my code or something in Pharo or the VM itself.
I am fairly certain that loading the attached is safe, but
DynamicLinkingLibrary
getProcAddress:'cos'
from:'libm.so'.
crashes the vm in my experience. Any ideas?
Bill
