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. + +Configure: reconfigure +ConfigOptions: + - --includedir=%{_includedir} +SubPackages: + - Name: devel + Summary: Development files for %{name} + Group: Development/Libraries + Description: | + The %{name}-devel package contains libraries and header files for + developing applications that use %{name}. + | ||
