I'm writing some Lua code (GNU Zile) that would gain a huge speed boost by using `memrchr` to scan back through an `alien.buffer` -- but `memrchr` is a GNU extension...
I fixed `unistd.ttyname` to notice an error status, and return `nil, "error message", ERRNO` correctly. There's almost certainly more cases of this :(
it should be easy to write an lfs API compatible module over the low-level posix APIs for convenient transitioning of client code.
luajit is much faster at FFI calls than marshaling types into and out of a C API call. As long as all the C API bindings we have at the...
add some infrastructure to make all functions behave `mkdtemp`, and return an error complaining about the host system missing library functions when unable to bind an advertised API.
`os.difftime()` copes only with `os.date()` results, we should provide one that recognizes and subtracts epochs, PosixTm, PosixTmspec, PosixTimeval (or their deprecated.lua raw table massaged varieties) and return something sensible...
Oddly, all of these pass on my (Mac OS Mountain Lion w/Lua 5.1.5 from homebrew) and Reuben's dev machines :( But Travis, on Ubuntu Precise is unhappy with them for...
While modeled after openpty(2), the term and win arguments are currently disallowed. The implementation should be complete!

I'm trying to build luabuild on my Mac, which (due to multiboot) places my home directory at '/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/gary' (note the space)... causing it to fail when calling ar. I...
