Version: 3.0.6
Category: devel
Platform: darwin
Maintainers: pguyot kallisys.net

Description: libffi provides a high level api to various calling conventions
Long Description: 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. 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.
