Create an impl of Rubinius's FFI library using JNA
--------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-1904
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-1904
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Charles Oliver Nutter
Assignee: Charles Oliver Nutter
Fix For: JRuby 1.1
FFI is a library Rubinius uses to load native libs and bind their functions
into Ruby method names. Under the covers it uses a library similar to JNA, and
the FFI API maps well to how JNA is structured. It would not take much effort
to support FFI on JRuby and as a result be able to reuse Rubinius impls of core
classes that call native libraries, like readline.
