Don't depend on it! There -- will be a plain variant. --[[ The problem with library bindings is manyfold. They are of course platform dependent and while a binary with its directly related libraries are often easy to maintain and load, additional libraries can each have their demands. One important aspect is that loading additional libraries from within the loaded one is also operating system dependent. There can be shared libraries elsewhere on the system and as there can be multiple libraries with the same name but different usage and versioning there can be clashes. So there has to be some logic in where to look for these sublibraries. We found out that for instance on windows libraries are by default sought on the parents path and then on the binary paths and these of course can be in an out of our control, thereby enlarging the changes on a clash. A rather safe solution for that to load the library on the path where it sits. Another aspect is initialization. When you ask for a library t.e.x it will try to initialize luaopen_t_e_x no matter if such an inializer is present. However, because loading is configurable and in the case of luatex is already partly under out control, this is easy to deal with. We only have to make sure that we inform the loader that the library has been loaded so that it won't load it twice. In swiglib we have chosen for a clear organization and although one can use variants normally in the tex directory structure predictability is more or less the standard. For instance: .../tex/texmf-mswin/bin/lib/luatex/lua/swiglib/mysql/core.dll .../tex/texmf-mswin/bin/lib/luajittex/lua/swiglib/mysql/core.dll .../tex/texmf-mswin/bin/lib/luatex/context/lua/swiglib/mysql/core.dll .../tex/texmf-mswin/bin/lib/swiglib/lua/mysql/core.dll .../tex/texmf-mswin/bin/lib/swiglib/lua/mysql/5.6/core.dll The lookups are determined via an entry in texmfcnf.lua: CLUAINPUTS = ".;$SELFAUTOLOC/lib/{$engine,luatex}/lua//", A request for t.e.x is converted to t/e/x.dll or t/e/x.so depending on the platform. Then we use the regular finder to locate the file in the tex directory structure. Once located we goto the path where it sits, load the file and return to the original path. We register as t.e.x in order to prevent reloading and also because the base name is seldom unique. The main function is a big one and evolved out of experiments that Luigi Scarso and I conducted when playing with variants of SwigLib. The function locates the library using the context mkiv resolver that operates on the tds tree and if that doesn't work out well, the normal clib path is used. The lookups is somewhat clever in the sense that it can deal with (optional) versions and can fall back on non versioned alternatives if needed, either or not using a wildcard lookup. This code is experimental and by providing a special abstract loader (called swiglib) we can start using the libraries. A complication is that we might end up with a luajittex path matching before a luatex path due to the path spec. One solution is to first check with the engine prefixed. This could be prevented by a more strict lib pattern but that is not always under our control. So, we first check for paths with engine in their name and then without. ]]-- -- seems to be clua in recent texlive local gsub, find = string.gsub, string.find local pathpart, nameonly, joinfile = file.pathpart, file.nameonly, file.join local findfile, findfiles = resolvers and resolvers.findfile, resolvers and resolvers.findfiles local loaded = package.loaded local report_swiglib = logs.reporter("swiglib") local trace_swiglib = false trackers.register("resolvers.swiglib", function(v) trace_swiglib = v end) -- We can check if there are more that one component, and if not, we can -- append 'core'. local done = false local function requireswiglib(required,version) local trace_swiglib = trace_swiglib or package.helpers.trace local library = loaded[required] if library == nil then if trace_swiglib then report_swiglib("requiring library %a with version %a",required,version or "any") end -- initialize a few variables local required_full = gsub(required,"%.","/") -- package.helpers.lualibfile local required_path = pathpart(required_full) local required_base = nameonly(required_full) local required_name = required_base ..
