Great heavens! I assumed at first that your "dlopen" was a separate executable, but you are implying you allow calling arbitrary C functions within the memory space of the bash process itself!?
You can also create callbacks (i.e. function pointers to bash code) that you can pass to qsort() or bsearch()... or pthread_create? That last one was a joke, I mean, you probably could but I don't know what would happen - I don't think bash is reentrant :)
Wow, I thought the original article was awful tho good, then I saw the lseek goto which seems much worse, then I see this dlopen for bash and I find it's the worse. But impossibly cool.
Did you have a usecase for this or it was just fun?
