02:42 <fzakaria[m]> * Would JRuby welcome a patch to remove the hardcoded paths in https://github.com/jnr/jnr-ffi/blob/master/src/main/java/jnr/ffi/LibraryLoader.java#L498-L516

02:43 <fzakaria[m]> My rationale:

02:43 <fzakaria[m]> For my usecase (NixOS), I've recently patched our JDK to have the default `java.library.path` to be empty to avoid impurity.

02:43 <fzakaria[m]> This would also bubble up and work here.

02:43 <fzakaria[m]> For a typical installation they are already included as part of `java.library.path`.

08:16 <headius> It is scary but may be acceptable

17:29 <fzakaria[m]> I just don't see hardcoding paths to be ever a sensible approach especially when there are system properties from the JDK designed to provide this value (i.e. `java.library.path`)
