// if any other library called `dlerror` internally concurrently with `libloading` things would
// still go awry.
//
// On platforms where `dlerror` is still MT-unsafe, `dlsym` (`Library::get`) can spuriously
// succeed and return a null pointer for a symbol when the actual symbol look-up operation
// fails. Instances where the actual symbol _could_ be `NULL` are platform specific. For
// instance on GNU glibc based-systems (an excerpt from dlsym(3)):
//
// > The value of a symbol returned by dlsym() will never be NULL if the shared object is the
// > result of normal compilation, since a global symbol is never placed at the NULL
// > address. There are nevertheless cases where a lookup using dlsym() may return NULL as the
// > value of a symbol. For example, the symbol value may be the result of a GNU indirect
// > function (IFUNC) resolver function that returns NULL as the resolved value.
// While we could could call `dlerror` here to clear the previous error value, only the `dlsym`
// call depends on it being cleared beforehand and only in some cases too. We will instead
// clear the error inside the dlsym binding instead.
