;; ffi.ss — the runtime side of jolt's foreign-function interface (jolt.ffi). ;; ;; A jolt LIBRARY binds native code itself: it loads a shared object and declares ;; typed foreign functions, then exposes a Clojure API. The TYPED CALL is lowered ;; at compile time to a Chez `foreign-procedure` by the backend (the ;; `jolt.ffi/foreign-fn` special form) — this file provides everything that does ;; NOT need compile-time types: loading libraries, allocating/reading/writing ;; foreign memory, and string/pointer marshaling. All exposed under `jolt.ffi`. ;; ;; A foreign pointer is a Chez machine address (an exact integer / uptr), the same ;; representation `void*` arguments and results use, so pointers flow between ;; foreign-fn calls and these helpers transparently. ;; --- loading shared objects -------------------------------------------------- ;; (jolt.ffi/load-library name) loads a .so/.dylib by name (resolved by the OS ;; loader against the standard search paths). A library typically calls this once ;; at load with a platform-specific name. (load-library) with no name (or #f) ;; loads the running process's own symbols (libc, sockets). (define (ffi-load-library . args) (if (or (null? args) (jolt-nil? (car args))) (begin (load-shared-object #f) jolt-nil) (begin (load-shared-object (jolt-str-render-one (car args))) jolt-nil))) (define (ffi-loaded? name) (guard (e (#t #f)) (load-shared-object (jolt-str-render-one name)) #t)) ;; --- foreign type keywords --------------------------------------------------- ;; The keyword type names jolt.ffi accepts (in foreign-fn signatures and the ;; memory accessors) map to Chez foreign types.
