The dyncall library encapsulates architecture-, OS- and compiler-specific
|
|
function call semantics in a virtual "bind parameters from left to right
|
|
and then call" interface allowing programmers to call C functions in a
|
|
completely dynamic manner. In other words, instead of calling a function
|
|
directly, the dyncall library provides a mechanism to push the function
|
|
parameters manually and to issue the call afterwards.
|
|
This means, that a program can determine at runtime what function to
|
|
call, and what parameters to pass to it. The library is written in C and
|
|
assembly and provides a very simple C interface to program against.
|
|
|
|
The library comes in very handy to power flexible message systems,
|
|
dynamic function call dispatch mechanisms, closure implementations or
|
|
even to bridge different programming languages.
|
|
When it comes to language bindings, the dyncall library provides a clean
|
|
and portable C interface to dynamically issue calls to foreign code using
|
|
small kernels written in assembly. Instead of providing code for every
|
|
bridged function call, which unnecessarily results in code bloat, only a
|
|
couple of instructions are used to invoke every possible call.
