+libffi-3.4.4 was released on October 23, 2022.  Check the libffi web
+page for updates: <URL:http://sourceware.org/libffi/>.
+
+
+What is libffi?
+===============
+
+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 essentially 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.
+
+

+
+Installing libffi
+=================
+
+First you must configure the distribution for your particular
+system. Go to the directory you wish to build libffi in and run the
+"configure" program found in the root directory of the libffi source
+distribution.  Note that building libffi requires a C99 compatible
+compiler.
+
+If you're building libffi directly from git hosted sources, configure
+won't exist yet; run ./autogen.sh first.  This will require that you
+install autoconf, automake and libtool.
+
+You may want to tell configure where to install the libffi library and
+header files. To do that, use the ``--prefix`` configure switch.  Libffi
+will install under /usr/local by default.
+
+If you want to enable extra run-time debugging checks use the the
+``--enable-debug`` configure switch. This is useful when your program dies
+mysteriously while using libffi.
+
+Another useful configure switch is ``--enable-purify-safety``. Using this
+will add some extra code which will suppress certain warnings when you
+are using Purify with libffi. Only use this switch when using
+Purify, as it will slow down the library.
+
+If you don't want to build documentation, use the ``--disable-docs``
+configure switch.
+
+It's also possible to build libffi on Windows platforms with
+Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler.  In this case, use the msvcc.sh
+wrapper script during configuration like so:
+
+    path/to/configure CC=path/to/msvcc.sh CXX=path/to/msvcc.sh LD=link CPP="cl -nologo -EP" CPPFLAGS="-DFFI_BUILDING_DLL"
+
+For 64-bit Windows builds, use ``CC="path/to/msvcc.sh -m64"`` and
+``CXX="path/to/msvcc.sh -m64"``.  You may also need to specify
+``--build`` appropriately.
+
+It is also possible to build libffi on Windows platforms with the LLVM
+project's clang-cl compiler, like below:
+
+    path/to/configure CC="path/to/msvcc.sh -clang-cl" CXX="path/to/msvcc.sh -clang-cl" LD=link CPP="clang-cl -EP"
+
+When building with MSVC under a MingW environment, you may need to
+remove the line in configure that sets 'fix_srcfile_path' to a 'cygpath'
+command.  ('cygpath' is not present in MingW, and is not required when
+using MingW-style paths.)
+
+To build static library for ARM64 with MSVC using visual studio solution, msvc_build folder have
+   aarch64/Ffi_staticLib.sln
+   required header files in aarch64/aarch64_include/
+
+
+SPARC Solaris builds require the use of the GNU assembler and linker.
+Point ``AS`` and ``LD`` environment variables at those tool prior to
+configuration.
+
+For iOS builds, the ``libffi.xcodeproj`` Xcode project is available.
+
+Configure has many other options. Use ``configure --help`` to see them all.
+
+Once configure has finished, type "make". Note that you must be using
+GNU make.  You can ftp GNU make from ftp.gnu.org:/pub/gnu/make .
+
+To ensure that libffi is working as advertised, type "make check".
+This will require that you have DejaGNU installed.
+
+To install the library and header files, type ``make install``.

+libffi was originally written by Anthony Green <green@moxielogic.com>.
+
+The developers of the GNU Compiler Collection project have made
+innumerable valuable contributions.  See the ChangeLog file for
+details.
+
+Some of the ideas behind libffi were inspired by Gianni Mariani's free
+gencall library for Silicon Graphics machines.
+
+The closure mechanism was designed and implemented by Kresten Krab
+Thorup.

+Thanks to Jim Blandy, who provided some useful feedback on the libffi
+interface.
+
+Andreas Tobler has done a tremendous amount of work on the testsuite.
+
+Alex Oliva solved the executable page problem for SElinux.
