Besides, from the libffi's README file:

    Libffi assumes that you have a pointer to the function you wish to
    call and that you know the number and types of arguments to pass it,
    as well as the return type of the function.

Now, whilst I can (obviously) meet the 1st requirement, as I explained I
cannot meet the other ones! Your answer leads me to believe that you
didn't even read the row below the piece of text you quoted and answered
to...
