The case directory contains this proposal. I have set the timeout for Friday, August 29th, 2008. This project proposes to integrate the Foreign Function Interface library (libffi) into a Patch release of Solaris. Libffi facilitates calling code written in one language from code written in another language. libffi is an imported dependency for Python 2.5 (see PSARC/2008/543). Thanks, John --Boundary_(ID_RrHjBmsy5BAd8g49NvRP/Q) Content-type: text/plain; charset=ASCII; name=proposal.txt Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-disposition: attachment; filename=proposal.txt Title: libffi - Foreign Function Interface library Case: PSARC/2008/542 Submitter: Laszlo Peter Owner: John Fischer Timeout: 08/29/2008 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Project/Component Working Name: libffi - Foreign Function Interface library 1.2 Purpose The Foreign Function Interface library facilitates calling code written in one language from code written in another language. See http://sourceware.org/libffi/ for more information. The purpose of including it in OpenSolaris is the ctypes Python modules. The ctypes module (in Python 2.5 and later) provides C compatible data types, and allows to call functions in shared libraries. Ctypes uses libffi. See http://docs.python.org/lib/module-ctypes.html for more information about ctypes. 2.0 Interfaces 2.2 Imported Interfaces Interface Classification Comments ----------------------------- -------------- ---------------------- libgcc_s.so.1 Volatile PSARC/2004/742 2.3 Exported Interfaces Interface Classification Comments ----------------------------- -------------- ---------------------- /usr/lib/libffi.so.5 Volatile /usr/lib/$MACH64/libffi.so.5 Volatile /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libffi.pc Uncommitted libffi pkg-config file /usr/lib/$MACH64/pkgconfig/ libffi pkg-config file libffi.pc Uncommitted for 64-bit builds --Boundary_(ID_RrHjBmsy5BAd8g49NvRP/Q)-- From danek.duvall@sun.com Fri Aug 22 17:16:27 2008 Received: from sunmail5.uk.sun.com (sunmail5.UK.Sun.COM [129.156.85.165]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m7N0GQ2H018863 for ; Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:16:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nwk-avmta-1.SFBay.Sun.COM (nwk-avmta-1.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.146.11.74]) by sunmail5.uk.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id m7N0GJa5003558 for <@sunmail2sca.sfbay.sun.com:PSARC-ext@sun.com>; Sat, 23 Aug 2008 01:16:25 +0100 (BST) Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM by nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0K6100H0323BTO00@nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM> for PSARC-ext@sun.com (ORCPT PSARC-ext@sun.com); Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:16:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dm-sfbay-02.sfbay.sun.com ([129.146.11.31]) by nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0K6100GMT23BWZB0@nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM> for PSARC-ext@sun.com (ORCPT PSARC-ext@sun.com); Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:16:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mumak.SFBay.Sun.COM (mumak.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.146.229.4]) by dm-sfbay-02.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id m7N0GLce041131; Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:16:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mumak.SFBay.Sun.COM (mumak [127.0.0.1]) by mumak.SFBay.Sun.COM (8.14.3+Sun/8.14.3) with ESMTP id m7N0HMUp026454; Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:17:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dduvall@localhost) by mumak.SFBay.Sun.COM (8.14.3+Sun/8.14.3/Submit) id m7N0HMnV026453; Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:17:22 -0700 (PDT) Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:17:22 -0700 From: Danek Duvall Subject: Re: PSARC/2008/542 - libffi - Foreign Function Interface library In-reply-to: <1219430768.9503.121.camel@sr1-umpk-16> To: John Fischer Cc: PSARC-ext@sun.com, Laszlo Peter Message-id: <20080823001722.GI15226@mumak.SFBay.Sun.COM> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-disposition: inline X-PMX-Version: 5.4.1.325704 References: <1219430768.9503.121.camel@sr1-umpk-16> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.16 (2007-06-27) Status: RO Content-Length: 400 On Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 11:46:09AM -0700, John Fischer wrote: > 2.2 Imported Interfaces > > Interface Classification Comments > ----------------------------- -------------- ---------------------- > libgcc_s.so.1 Volatile PSARC/2004/742 Couldn't this be eliminated by using the Studio compiler?
