Title: libffi -- Portable foreign-function interface library
|
|
Abstract: 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.
