-- busted helper file to prevent crashes on LuaJIT ffi module being
-- garbage collected due to Busted cleaning up the test environment
--
-- usage:
--   busted --helper=spec/helper.lua

-- only apply when we're running LuaJIT

  -- and Busted will not try to GC and reload it. The ffi is not suited
  -- for that and will occasionally segfault if done so.

  -- will error on re-registering.
