I wrote a dynamic module and am trying to use package.el to install it. I followed the instructions in the Emacs Lisp Manual and created a tar archive. This tar archive contains:
sqlite3-api-0.1/
sqlite3-api-0.1/sqlite3-api-pkg.el
sqlite3-api-0.1/sqlite3-api.so
I then evaluated
(package-install-file "~/src/emacs-sqlite3-api/sqlite3-api-0.1.tar")
and it gave me an error:
(error "sqlite3-api.so:0:0: error: scan-error: (Containing expression ends prematurely 47501 47502)\
")
From the backtrace, it's autoload-generate-file-autoloads in autoload.el that caused it. Seems to me Emacs was trying to parse the .so looking for autoloads?
It's on Linux (CentOS7). Interestingly I tried this on macOS later and this time it worked perfectly.
Is package.el ready for dynamic modules yet?
One more thing related to dynamic modules: seems to me unload-feature doesn't support dynamic modules yet. Will this be fixed?
