Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

libffi is a foreign function interface library. It provides a C programming language interface for calling natively compiled functions given information about the target function at run time instead of compile time. It also implements the opposite functionality: libffi can produce a pointer to a function that can accept and decode any combination of arguments defined at run time.
