1656,Embed API cannot find core PBC or PIR files,dukeleto,,"This test program:
{{{
#include ""parrot/embed.h""
#include ""parrot/extend.h""

Parrot_Interp interp;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    Parrot_PMC func_pmc;
    Parrot_String err, filename;

    interp = Parrot_new(NULL);
    imcc_init(interp);

    filename = Parrot_str_new(interp, ""P6object.pbc"");
    //filename = Parrot_str_new(interp, ""P6object.pir"");
    Parrot_load_bytecode(interp,filename);

}
}}}

Compiled with 
{{{
$ cc embed2.c -o embed2 `pkg-config --cflags --libs parrot`; ./embed2
}}}

gives: 
{{{
""load_bytecode"" couldn't find file 'P6object.pbc'
}}}

The same thing happens when trying to load the PIR file.

This makes loading test_more.pir or any core PBC from the Embedding API very cumbersome, since the full path needs to be figured out via many parrot_config keys. This specifically effects PL/Parrot, which needs to load P6object.pbc to work correctly. 

Core PBC and PIR files should be loadable without jumping through these hoops.",bug,closed,critical,,embed/extend,2.4.0,high,invalid,,,,,all
