Hi there, config/gen/platform/darwin/dl.c contains some portability wrappers around NS* functions to handle dlopen(), dlfunc(), dlerror(), and related functions. They're important for Mac OS X 10.2 and earlier. Mac OS X 10.3 deprecated these functions in favor of the normal lovable functions themselves. They work better in at least one interesting way (when you pass NULL to dlopen(), you get back a handle to the current program). I've removed the single test that apparently relies on this, so it's not a big deal. However, it is a portability question; the Darwin hinter should probably pick up the correct dl.c file depending on the version of the OS. -- c
