-libffi-ios provides an experimental port of libffi to Apple's iOS.
-
-The libffi closure mechanism has previously required the use of executable data pages, however, iOS sandbox restrictions prevent their use.
-The OS does, however, permit remapping of executable pages, allowing one to remap a single page to multiple locations. libffi-ios modifies
-ffi_closure_alloc/ffi_closure_free APIs to make use of this functionality to implement dynamically allocated and configured closure
-trampolines without requiring the use of executable data.
-
-The implementation works by allocating a writable config page, and then remapping a page of pre-compiled trampolines directly
-after the config page. The trampolines use PC-relative addressing to load their context from the config page, and so it is possible
-to allocate as many of these trampolines tables as you have memory space.
-
-Note that this implementation is *experimental* and has seen very limited testing.
-
-A build-ios.sh script is provided to configure and build an iOS library; you may need to edit the SDK settings in the script.
