Description

Older applications can call functions across different binary calling conventions through the libffi ABI 5 compatibility library. It helps language runtimes, plugins, and foreign-function interfaces keep legacy integrations working.

Foreign-function interfaces can call native code inside a process. Use trusted plugins and libraries when applications depend on this capability.
