+1 What is libffi?
+*****************
+
+Compilers for high level languages generate code that follow certain
+conventions. These conventions are necessary, in part, for separate
+compilation to work. One such convention is the "calling convention".
+The calling convention is a set of assumptions made by the compiler
+about where function arguments will be found on entry to a function. A
+calling convention also specifies where the return value for a function
+is found. The calling convention is also sometimes called the "ABI" or
+"Application Binary Interface".
+
+ Some programs may not know at the time of compilation what arguments
+are to be passed to a function. For instance, an interpreter may be
+told at run-time about the number and types of arguments used to call a
+given function. `Libffi' can be used in such programs to provide a
+bridge from the interpreter program to compiled code.
+
+ The `libffi' library provides a portable, high level programming
+interface to various calling conventions. This allows a programmer to
+call any function specified by a call interface description at run time.
+
+ FFI stands for Foreign Function Interface. A foreign function
+interface is the popular name for the interface that allows code
+written in one language to call code written in another language. The
+`libffi' library really only provides the lowest, machine dependent
+layer of a fully featured foreign function interface. A layer must
+exist above `libffi' that handles type conversions for values passed
+between the two languages.

+
+2.1 The Basics
+==============
+
+`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.
+
+ The first thing you must do is create an `ffi_cif' object that
+matches the signature of the function you wish to call. This is a
+separate step because it is common to make multiple calls using a
+single `ffi_cif'. The "cif" in `ffi_cif' stands for Call InterFace.
+To prepare a call interface object, use the function `ffi_prep_cif'.
+
+ -- Function: ffi_status ffi_prep_cif (ffi_cif *CIF, ffi_abi ABI,
+ unsigned int NARGS, ffi_type *RTYPE, ffi_type **ARGTYPES)
+ This initializes CIF according to the given parameters.
+
+ ABI is the ABI to use; normally `FFI_DEFAULT_ABI' is what you
+ want. *note Multiple ABIs:: for more information.
+
+ NARGS is the number of arguments that this function accepts.
+ `libffi' does not yet handle varargs functions; see *note Missing
+ Features:: for more information.
+
+ RTYPE is a pointer to an `ffi_type' structure that describes the
+ return type of the function. *Note Types::.
+
+ ARGTYPES is a vector of `ffi_type' pointers. ARGTYPES must have
+ NARGS elements. If NARGS is 0, this argument is ignored.
+
+ `ffi_prep_cif' returns a `libffi' status code, of type
+ `ffi_status'. This will be either `FFI_OK' if everything worked
+ properly; `FFI_BAD_TYPEDEF' if one of the `ffi_type' objects is
+ incorrect; or `FFI_BAD_ABI' if the ABI parameter is invalid.
+
+ To call a function using an initialized `ffi_cif', use the
+`ffi_call' function:
+
+ -- Function: void ffi_call (ffi_cif *CIF, void *FN, void *RVALUE, void
+ **AVALUES)
+ This calls the function FN according to the description given in
+ CIF. CIF must have already been prepared using `ffi_prep_cif'.
+
+ RVALUE is a pointer to a chunk of memory that will hold the result
+ of the function call. This must be large enough to hold the
+ result and must be suitably aligned; it is the caller's
+ responsibility to ensure this. If CIF declares that the function
+ returns `void' (using `ffi_type_void'), then RVALUE is ignored.
+ If RVALUE is `NULL', then the return value is discarded.
+
+ AVALUES is a vector of `void *' pointers that point to the memory
+ locations holding the argument values for a call. If CIF declares
+ that the function has no arguments (i.e., NARGS was 0), then
+ AVALUES is ignored.
+
+

+
+2.2 Simple Example
+==================
+
+Here is a trivial example that calls `puts' a few times.
+
+ #include <stdio.h>
+ #include <ffi.h>
+
+ int main()
+ {
+ ffi_cif cif;
+ ffi_type *args[1];
+ void *values[1];
+ char *s;
+ int rc;
+
+ /* Initialize the argument info vectors */
+ args[0] = &ffi_type_pointer;
+ values[0] = &s;
+
+ /* Initialize the cif */
+ if (ffi_prep_cif(&cif, FFI_DEFAULT_ABI, 1,
+ &ffi_type_uint, args) == FFI_OK)
+ {
+ s = "Hello World!";
+ ffi_call(&cif, puts, &rc, values);
+ /* rc now holds the result of the call to puts */
+
+ /* values holds a pointer to the function's arg, so to
+ call puts() again all we need to do is change the
+ value of s */
+ s = "This is cool!";
+ ffi_call(&cif, puts, &rc, values);
+ }
+
+ return 0;
+ }

+
+
+File: libffi.info, Node: Primitive Types, Next: Structures, Up: Types
+
+2.3.1 Primitive Types
+---------------------
+
+`Libffi' provides a number of built-in type descriptors that can be
+used to describe argument and return types:
+
+`ffi_type_void'
+ The type `void'. This cannot be used for argument types, only for
+ return values.
+
+`ffi_type_uint8'
+ An unsigned, 8-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_sint8'
+ A signed, 8-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_uint16'
+ An unsigned, 16-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_sint16'
+ A signed, 16-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_uint32'
+ An unsigned, 32-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_sint32'
+ A signed, 32-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_uint64'
+ An unsigned, 64-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_sint64'
+ A signed, 64-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_float'
+ The C `float' type.
+
+`ffi_type_double'
+ The C `double' type.
+
+`ffi_type_uchar'
+ The C `unsigned char' type.
+
+`ffi_type_schar'
+ The C `signed char' type. (Note that there is not an exact
+ equivalent to the C `char' type in `libffi'; ordinarily you should
+ either use `ffi_type_schar' or `ffi_type_uchar' depending on
+ whether `char' is signed.)
+
+`ffi_type_ushort'
+ The C `unsigned short' type.
+
+`ffi_type_sshort'
+ The C `short' type.
+
+`ffi_type_uint'
+ The C `unsigned int' type.
+
+`ffi_type_sint'
+ The C `int' type.
+
+`ffi_type_ulong'
+ The C `unsigned long' type.
+
+`ffi_type_slong'
+ The C `long' type.
+
+`ffi_type_longdouble'
+ On platforms that have a C `long double' type, this is defined.
+ On other platforms, it is not.
+
+`ffi_type_pointer'
+ A generic `void *' pointer. You should use this for all pointers,
+ regardless of their real type.
+
+ Each of these is of type `ffi_type', so you must take the address
+when passing to `ffi_prep_cif'.
+
+
+File: libffi.info, Node: Structures, Next: Type Example, Prev: Primitive Types, Up: Types
+
+2.3.2 Structures
+----------------
+
+Although `libffi' has no special support for unions or bit-fields, it
+is perfectly happy passing structures back and forth. You must first
+describe the structure to `libffi' by creating a new `ffi_type' object
+for it.
+
+ -- ffi_type:
+ The `ffi_type' has the following members:
+ `size_t size'
+ This is set by `libffi'; you should initialize it to zero.
+
+ `unsigned short alignment'
+ This is set by `libffi'; you should initialize it to zero.
+
+ `unsigned short type'
+ For a structure, this should be set to `FFI_TYPE_STRUCT'.
+
+ `ffi_type **elements'
+ This is a `NULL'-terminated array of pointers to `ffi_type'
+ objects. There is one element per field of the struct.
+
+
+File: libffi.info, Node: Type Example, Prev: Structures, Up: Types
+
+2.3.3 Type Example
+------------------
+
+The following example initializes a `ffi_type' object representing the
+`tm' struct from Linux's `time.h'.
+
+ Here is how the struct is defined:
+
+ struct tm {
+ int tm_sec;
+ int tm_min;
+ int tm_hour;
+ int tm_mday;
+ int tm_mon;
+ int tm_year;
+ int tm_wday;
+ int tm_yday;
+ int tm_isdst;
+ /* Those are for future use. */
+ long int __tm_gmtoff__;
+ __const char *__tm_zone__;
+ };
+
+ Here is the corresponding code to describe this struct to `libffi':
+
+ {
+ ffi_type tm_type;
+ ffi_type *tm_type_elements[12];
+ int i;
+
+ tm_type.size = tm_type.alignment = 0;
+ tm_type.elements = &tm_type_elements;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < 9; i++)
+ tm_type_elements[i] = &ffi_type_sint;
+
+ tm_type_elements[9] = &ffi_type_slong;
+ tm_type_elements[10] = &ffi_type_pointer;
+ tm_type_elements[11] = NULL;
+
+ /* tm_type can now be used to represent tm argument types and
+ return types for ffi_prep_cif() */
+ }
+
+

+
+2.4 Multiple ABIs
+=================
+
+A given platform may provide multiple different ABIs at once. For
+instance, the x86 platform has both `stdcall' and `fastcall' functions.
+
+ `libffi' provides some support for this. However, this is
+necessarily platform-specific.
+
+
+File: libffi.info, Node: The Closure API, Prev: Multiple ABIs, Up: Using libffi
+
+2.5 The Closure API
+===================
+
+`libffi' also provides a way to write a generic function - a function
+that can accept and decode any combination of arguments. This can be
+useful when writing an interpreter, or to provide wrappers for
+arbitrary functions.
+
+ This facility is called the "closure API". Closures are not
+supported on all platforms; you can check the `FFI_CLOSURES' define to
+determine whether they are supported on the current platform.
+
+ Because closures work by assembling a tiny function at runtime, they
+require special allocation on platforms that have a non-executable
+heap. Memory management for closures is handled by a pair of functions:
+
+ -- Function: void *ffi_closure_alloc (size_t SIZE, void **CODE)
+ Allocate a chunk of memory holding SIZE bytes. This returns a
+ pointer to the writable address, and sets *CODE to the
+ corresponding executable address.
+
+ SIZE should be sufficient to hold a `ffi_closure' object.
+
+ -- Function: void ffi_closure_free (void *WRITABLE)
+ Free memory allocated using `ffi_closure_alloc'. The argument is
+ the writable address that was returned.
+
+ Once you have allocated the memory for a closure, you must construct
+a `ffi_cif' describing the function call. Finally you can prepare the
+closure function:
+
+ -- Function: ffi_status ffi_prep_closure_loc (ffi_closure *CLOSURE,
+ ffi_cif *CIF, void (*FUN) (ffi_cif *CIF, void *RET, void
+ **ARGS, void *USER_DATA), void *USER_DATA, void *CODELOC)
+ Prepare a closure function.
+
+ CLOSURE is the address of a `ffi_closure' object; this is the
+ writable address returned by `ffi_closure_alloc'.
+
+ CIF is the `ffi_cif' describing the function parameters.
+
+ USER_DATA is an arbitrary datum that is passed, uninterpreted, to
+ your closure function.
+
+ CODELOC is the executable address returned by `ffi_closure_alloc'.
+
+ FUN is the function which will be called when the closure is
+ invoked. It is called with the arguments:
+ CIF
+ The `ffi_cif' passed to `ffi_prep_closure_loc'.
+
+ RET
+ A pointer to the memory used for the function's return value.
+ FUN must fill this, unless the function is declared as
+ returning `void'.
+
+ ARGS
+ A vector of pointers to memory holding the arguments to the
+ function.
+
+ USER_DATA
+ The same USER_DATA that was passed to `ffi_prep_closure_loc'.
+
+ `ffi_prep_closure_loc' will return `FFI_OK' if everything went ok,
+ and something else on error.
+
+ After calling `ffi_prep_closure_loc', you can cast CODELOC to the
+ appropriate pointer-to-function type.
+
+ You may see old code referring to `ffi_prep_closure'. This function
+is deprecated, as it cannot handle the need for separate writable and
+executable addresses.

+@chapter What is libffi?
+
+Compilers for high level languages generate code that follow certain
+conventions. These conventions are necessary, in part, for separate
+compilation to work. One such convention is the @dfn{calling
+convention}. The calling convention is a set of assumptions made by
+the compiler about where function arguments will be found on entry to
+a function. A calling convention also specifies where the return
+value for a function is found. The calling convention is also
+sometimes called the @dfn{ABI} or @dfn{Application Binary Interface}.
+@cindex calling convention
+@cindex ABI
+@cindex Application Binary Interface
+
+Some programs may not know at the time of compilation what arguments
+are to be passed to a function. For instance, an interpreter may be
+told at run-time about the number and types of arguments used to call
+a given function. @samp{Libffi} can be used in such programs to
+provide a bridge from the interpreter program to compiled code.
+
+The @samp{libffi} library provides a portable, high level programming
+interface to various calling conventions. This allows a programmer to
+call any function specified by a call interface description at run
+time.
+
+@acronym{FFI} stands for Foreign Function Interface. A foreign
+function interface is the popular name for the interface that allows
+code written in one language to call code written in another language.
+The @samp{libffi} library really only provides the lowest, machine
+dependent layer of a fully featured foreign function interface. A
+layer must exist above @samp{libffi} that handles type conversions for
+values passed between the two languages.

+@node The Basics
+@section The Basics
+
+@samp{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.
+
+The first thing you must do is create an @code{ffi_cif} object that
+matches the signature of the function you wish to call. This is a
+separate step because it is common to make multiple calls using a
+single @code{ffi_cif}. The @dfn{cif} in @code{ffi_cif} stands for
+Call InterFace. To prepare a call interface object, use the function
+@code{ffi_prep_cif}.
+@cindex cif
+
+@findex ffi_prep_cif
+@defun ffi_status ffi_prep_cif (ffi_cif *@var{cif}, ffi_abi @var{abi}, unsigned int @var{nargs}, ffi_type *@var{rtype}, ffi_type **@var{argtypes})
+This initializes @var{cif} according to the given parameters.
+
+@var{abi} is the ABI to use; normally @code{FFI_DEFAULT_ABI} is what
+you want. @ref{Multiple ABIs} for more information.
+
+@var{nargs} is the number of arguments that this function accepts.
+@samp{libffi} does not yet handle varargs functions; see @ref{Missing
+Features} for more information.
+
+@var{rtype} is a pointer to an @code{ffi_type} structure that
+describes the return type of the function. @xref{Types}.
+
+@var{argtypes} is a vector of @code{ffi_type} pointers.
+@var{argtypes} must have @var{nargs} elements. If @var{nargs} is 0,
+this argument is ignored.
+
+@code{ffi_prep_cif} returns a @code{libffi} status code, of type
+@code{ffi_status}. This will be either @code{FFI_OK} if everything
+worked properly; @code{FFI_BAD_TYPEDEF} if one of the @code{ffi_type}
+objects is incorrect; or @code{FFI_BAD_ABI} if the @var{abi} parameter
+is invalid.
+@end defun
+
+
+To call a function using an initialized @code{ffi_cif}, use the
+@code{ffi_call} function:
+
+@findex ffi_call
+@defun void ffi_call (ffi_cif *@var{cif}, void *@var{fn}, void *@var{rvalue}, void **@var{avalues})
+This calls the function @var{fn} according to the description given in
+@var{cif}. @var{cif} must have already been prepared using
+@code{ffi_prep_cif}.
+
+@var{rvalue} is a pointer to a chunk of memory that will hold the
+result of the function call. This must be large enough to hold the
+result and must be suitably aligned; it is the caller's responsibility
+to ensure this. If @var{cif} declares that the function returns
+@code{void} (using @code{ffi_type_void}), then @var{rvalue} is
+ignored. If @var{rvalue} is @samp{NULL}, then the return value is
+discarded.
+
+@var{avalues} is a vector of @code{void *} pointers that point to the
+memory locations holding the argument values for a call. If @var{cif}
+declares that the function has no arguments (i.e., @var{nargs} was 0),
+then @var{avalues} is ignored.
+@end defun
+
+
+@node Simple Example
+@section Simple Example
+
+Here is a trivial example that calls @code{puts} a few times.
+
+@example
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include <ffi.h>
+
+int main()
+@{
+ ffi_cif cif;
+ ffi_type *args[1];
+ void *values[1];
+ char *s;
+ int rc;
+
+ /* Initialize the argument info vectors */
+ args[0] = &ffi_type_pointer;
+ values[0] = &s;
+
+ /* Initialize the cif */
+ if (ffi_prep_cif(&cif, FFI_DEFAULT_ABI, 1,
+ &ffi_type_uint, args) == FFI_OK)
+ @{
+ s = "Hello World!";
+ ffi_call(&cif, puts, &rc, values);
+ /* rc now holds the result of the call to puts */
+
+ /* values holds a pointer to the function's arg, so to
+ call puts() again all we need to do is change the
+ value of s */
+ s = "This is cool!";
+ ffi_call(&cif, puts, &rc, values);

+
+@node Primitive Types
+@subsection Primitive Types
+
+@code{Libffi} provides a number of built-in type descriptors that can
+be used to describe argument and return types:
+
+@table @code
+@item ffi_type_void
+@tindex ffi_type_void
+The type @code{void}. This cannot be used for argument types, only
+for return values.
+
+@item ffi_type_uint8
+@tindex ffi_type_uint8
+An unsigned, 8-bit integer type.
+
+@item ffi_type_sint8
+@tindex ffi_type_sint8
+A signed, 8-bit integer type.
+
+@item ffi_type_uint16
+@tindex ffi_type_uint16
+An unsigned, 16-bit integer type.
+
+@item ffi_type_sint16
+@tindex ffi_type_sint16
+A signed, 16-bit integer type.
+
+@item ffi_type_uint32
+@tindex ffi_type_uint32
+An unsigned, 32-bit integer type.
+
+@item ffi_type_sint32
+@tindex ffi_type_sint32
+A signed, 32-bit integer type.
+
+@item ffi_type_uint64
+@tindex ffi_type_uint64
+An unsigned, 64-bit integer type.
+
+@item ffi_type_sint64
+@tindex ffi_type_sint64
+A signed, 64-bit integer type.
+
+@item ffi_type_float
+@tindex ffi_type_float
+The C @code{float} type.
+
+@item ffi_type_double
+@tindex ffi_type_double
+The C @code{double} type.
+
+@item ffi_type_uchar
+@tindex ffi_type_uchar
+The C @code{unsigned char} type.
+
+@item ffi_type_schar
+@tindex ffi_type_schar
+The C @code{signed char} type. (Note that there is not an exact
+equivalent to the C @code{char} type in @code{libffi}; ordinarily you
+should either use @code{ffi_type_schar} or @code{ffi_type_uchar}
+depending on whether @code{char} is signed.)
+
+@item ffi_type_ushort
+@tindex ffi_type_ushort
+The C @code{unsigned short} type.
+
+@item ffi_type_sshort
+@tindex ffi_type_sshort
+The C @code{short} type.
+
+@item ffi_type_uint
+@tindex ffi_type_uint
+The C @code{unsigned int} type.
+
+@item ffi_type_sint
+@tindex ffi_type_sint
+The C @code{int} type.
+
+@item ffi_type_ulong
+@tindex ffi_type_ulong
+The C @code{unsigned long} type.
+
+@item ffi_type_slong
+@tindex ffi_type_slong
+The C @code{long} type.
+
+@item ffi_type_longdouble
+@tindex ffi_type_longdouble
+On platforms that have a C @code{long double} type, this is defined.
+On other platforms, it is not.
+
+@item ffi_type_pointer
+@tindex ffi_type_pointer
+A generic @code{void *} pointer. You should use this for all
+pointers, regardless of their real type.
+@end table
+
+Each of these is of type @code{ffi_type}, so you must take the address
+when passing to @code{ffi_prep_cif}.
+
+
+@node Structures
+@subsection Structures
+
+Although @samp{libffi} has no special support for unions or
+bit-fields, it is perfectly happy passing structures back and forth.
+You must first describe the structure to @samp{libffi} by creating a
+new @code{ffi_type} object for it.
+
+@tindex ffi_type
+@deftp ffi_type
+The @code{ffi_type} has the following members:
+@table @code
+@item size_t size
+This is set by @code{libffi}; you should initialize it to zero.
+
+@item unsigned short alignment
+This is set by @code{libffi}; you should initialize it to zero.
+
+@item unsigned short type
+For a structure, this should be set to @code{FFI_TYPE_STRUCT}.
+
+@item ffi_type **elements
+This is a @samp{NULL}-terminated array of pointers to @code{ffi_type}
+objects. There is one element per field of the struct.
+@end table
+@end deftp
+
+
+@node Type Example
+@subsection Type Example
+
+The following example initializes a @code{ffi_type} object
+representing the @code{tm} struct from Linux's @file{time.h}.
+
+Here is how the struct is defined:
+
+@example
+struct tm @{
+ int tm_sec;
+ int tm_min;
+ int tm_hour;
+ int tm_mday;
+ int tm_mon;
+ int tm_year;
+ int tm_wday;
+ int tm_yday;
+ int tm_isdst;
+ /* Those are for future use. */
+ long int __tm_gmtoff__;
+ __const char *__tm_zone__;
+@};
+@end example
+
+Here is the corresponding code to describe this struct to
+@code{libffi}:
+
+@example
+ @{
+ ffi_type tm_type;
+ ffi_type *tm_type_elements[12];
+ int i;
+
+ tm_type.size = tm_type.alignment = 0;
+ tm_type.elements = &tm_type_elements;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < 9; i++)
+ tm_type_elements[i] = &ffi_type_sint;
+
+ tm_type_elements[9] = &ffi_type_slong;
+ tm_type_elements[10] = &ffi_type_pointer;
+ tm_type_elements[11] = NULL;
+
+ /* tm_type can now be used to represent tm argument types and
+ return types for ffi_prep_cif() */
+ @}
+@end example
+
+
+@node Multiple ABIs
+@section Multiple ABIs
+
+A given platform may provide multiple different ABIs at once. For
+instance, the x86 platform has both @samp{stdcall} and @samp{fastcall}
+functions.
+
+@code{libffi} provides some support for this. However, this is
+necessarily platform-specific.
+
+@c FIXME: document the platforms
+
+@node The Closure API
+@section The Closure API
+
+@code{libffi} also provides a way to write a generic function -- a
+function that can accept and decode any combination of arguments.
+This can be useful when writing an interpreter, or to provide wrappers
+for arbitrary functions.
+
+This facility is called the @dfn{closure API}. Closures are not
+supported on all platforms; you can check the @code{FFI_CLOSURES}
+define to determine whether they are supported on the current
+platform.
+@cindex closures
+@cindex closure API
+@findex FFI_CLOSURES
+
+Because closures work by assembling a tiny function at runtime, they
+require special allocation on platforms that have a non-executable
+heap. Memory management for closures is handled by a pair of
+functions:
+
+@findex ffi_closure_alloca
+@defun void *ffi_closure_alloc (size_t @var{size}, void **@var{code})
+Allocate a chunk of memory holding @var{size} bytes. This returns a
+pointer to the writable address, and sets *@var{code} to the
+corresponding executable address.
+
+@var{size} should be sufficient to hold a @code{ffi_closure} object.
+@end defun
+
+@findex ffi_closure_free
+@defun void ffi_closure_free (void *@var{writable})
+Free memory allocated using @code{ffi_closure_alloc}. The argument is
+the writable address that was returned.
+@end defun
+
+
+Once you have allocated the memory for a closure, you must construct a
+@code{ffi_cif} describing the function call. Finally you can prepare
+the closure function:
+
+@findex ffi_prep_closure_loc
+@defun ffi_status ffi_prep_closure_loc (ffi_closure *@var{closure}, ffi_cif *@var{cif}, void (*@var{fun}) (ffi_cif *@var{cif}, void *@var{ret}, void **@var{args}, void *@var{user_data}), void *@var{user_data}, void *@var{codeloc})
+Prepare a closure function.
+
+@var{closure} is the address of a @code{ffi_closure} object; this is
+the writable address returned by @code{ffi_closure_alloc}.
+
+@var{cif} is the @code{ffi_cif} describing the function parameters.
+
+@var{user_data} is an arbitrary datum that is passed, uninterpreted,
+to your closure function.
+
+@var{codeloc} is the executable address returned by
+@code{ffi_closure_alloc}.
+
+@var{fun} is the function which will be called when the closure is
+invoked. It is called with the arguments:
+@table @var
+@item cif
+The @code{ffi_cif} passed to @code{ffi_prep_closure_loc}.
+
+@item ret
+A pointer to the memory used for the function's return value.
+@var{fun} must fill this, unless the function is declared as returning
+@code{void}.
+@c FIXME: is this NULL for void-returning functions?
+
+@item args
+A vector of pointers to memory holding the arguments to the function.
+
+@item user_data
+The same @var{user_data} that was passed to
+@code{ffi_prep_closure_loc}.
+@end table
+
+@code{ffi_prep_closure_loc} will return @code{FFI_OK} if everything
+went ok, and something else on error.
+@c FIXME: what?
+
+After calling @code{ffi_prep_closure_loc}, you can cast @var{codeloc}
+to the appropriate pointer-to-function type.
+@end defun
+
+@c FIXME: example
+
+You may see old code referring to @code{ffi_prep_closure}. This
+function is deprecated, as it cannot handle the need for separate
+writable and executable addresses.
