native-close, raw-native and native-lookup have become
ffi/close, ffi/native, and ffi/lookup instead.
The new ffi module will be useful for any architecture even if we don't
support making calls to certain functions. We can simple add a
do-nothing calling convetion that panics on call. ffi/read and ffi/write
are useful in their own right.
TODO:
- struct return values
- support for unions in signatures
- more testing
- complex types
- packed structs
- writing structs to buffers (useful and we have most of the machinery).
Add support for integer return and floating point return variants, as
well as arguments on the stack. Start flushing out struct arguments.
Still needed:
- structs (packed and unpacked)
- complex numbers
- long doubles
- MASM alternative for windows (you can technically use sysv abi on
windows)
- more calling conventions.
