Description
The
ffi_prep_cif function prepares a
ffi_cif structure for use with
ffi_call Fa abi specifies a set of calling conventions to use. Fa atypes is an array of Fa nargs pointers to
ffi_type structs that describe the data type, size and alignment of each argument. Fa rtype points to an
ffi_type that describes the data type, size and alignment of the return value. Note that to call a variadic function
ffi_prep_cif_var must be used instead.
Return Values
Upon successful completion,
ffi_prep_cif returns
FFI_OK It will return
FFI_BAD_TYPEDEF if Fa cif is
NULL or Fa atypes or Fa rtype is malformed. If Fa abi does not refer to a valid ABI,
FFI_BAD_ABI will be returned. Available ABIs are defined in
<ffitarget.h>
