-Status

-libffi-3.4.8 was released on April 9, 2025.  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" CXXCPP="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``.
