- Subject: libffi stdcall closures
I'm working on a patch for win32/x86 stdcall closures to support JNA
(http://jna.dev.java.net), a ctypes-like library for Java. I'm
working off of a libffi snapshot from the gcc trunk.
I've got the closure code working now, and I need some pointers on
adding a win32-only stdcall callback test to the testsuite (or a
general one if stdcall is supported elsewhere).
I'm running the testsuite under cygwin, which works except for about
4 failures unrelated to what I'm working on.
Oddly enough, some stdcall closures would work while others would not
(seems to be tied to the caller environment as opposed to the number
of closure arguments). Probably has to do with whether the caller
is maintaining a frame pointer or whether it relies entirely on the
stack pointer.
