The problem\r\nis that everything in string_funcs.h is defined only if PARROT_IN_CORE is\r\ndefined. PARROT_IN_CORE, in turn, is defined only if I include parrot.h\r\n```\r\n\r\nSince only parrot internals should include parrot/parrot.h, these functions need to be made available from parrot/embed.h and parrot/extend.h\r\n\r\nOriginally http://trac.parrot.org/parrot/ticket/1496","html_url":"https://github.com/petdance/scratch/issues/257","title":"Parrot_String-related functions are only available from parrot/parrot.h","number":257,"id":2226554,"created_at":"2011-11-14T06:07:25Z"},"action":"opened"}
