%description

Compilers for high level languages generate code that follow certain

conventions.  These conventions are necessary, in part, for separate

compilation to work.  One such convention is the "calling convention".

The calling convention is a set of assumptions made by the compiler

about where function arguments will be found on entry to a function.  A

calling convention also specifies where the return value for a function

is found.  

Some programs may not know at the time of compilation what arguments

are to be passed to a function.  For instance, an interpreter may be

told at run-time about the number and types of arguments used to call a

given function.  `Libffi' can be used in such programs to provide a

bridge from the interpreter program to compiled code.

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.
