Hello!
I have a native library I wrote and I am trying to use JEP 434 to access it. The library is loaded using System.load . But the call to Linker.nativeLinker().defaultLookup().find("my_method_name") returns NoSuchElementException. Shouldn't this return the address of the library I wrote? I am sure that the library is loaded correctly before I use any method of java.lang.foreign .

You should also use `loaderLookup`:

SymbolLookup.loaderLookup().or(Linker.nativeLinker().defaultLookup()).find("my_method_name")

Linker.nativeLinker().defaultLookup() will use only system-wide available libraries
while loaderLookup will also use libraries loaded via System.load during lookup

And the question is more about JDK, rather then Kotlin 🙂

Is there a better better channel for this? Or should I use another slack instance specific for JDK questions?

TBH, I don't know about kotlinlang analog for Java/JDK
I believe it's fine to discuss such questions if they are somehow Kotlin related
