Description: The libffi library provides a portable, high level programming interface to
|
|
various calling conventions. This allows a programmer to call any function
|
|
specified by a call interface description at run-time.
|
|
|
|
FFI stands for Foreign Function Interface. A foreign function interface is the
|
|
popular name for the interface that allows code written in one language to call
|
|
code written in another language. The libffi library really only provides the
|
|
lowest, machine dependent layer of a fully featured foreign function interface.
|
|
A layer must exist above libffi that handles type conversions for values passed
|
|
between the two languages.
