FFI needs a way to specify call convention
------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-2873
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-2873
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Charles Oliver Nutter
Assignee: Wayne Meissner
Fix For: JRuby 1.1.4
Currently there is no way to specify call convention when binding functions
from a given library with FFI. After some discussion on #rubinius, the
following changes were generally agreed upon:
# attach_foreign has never been used and may go away soon
# it should be possible to specify a default call convention for an entire FFI
module, probably with set_ffi_convention :stdcall or something similar
# it was not decided whether there should be a way to specify per-function call
convention, and I suggested that perhaps FFI should only allow one call
convention per module
There was also some discussion of whether set_ffi_lib and set_ffi_convention
could omit the set_ but that's also still under discussion.
