| 22 \section{Overview} | |
| 23 | |
| 24 The \product{dyncall} library encapsulates architecture-, OS- and compiler-specific | |
| 72 | 25 function call semantics in a virtual % |

| 30 % | |
| 0 | 31 interface allowing programmers to call C functions |
| 32 in a completely dynamic manner. In other words, instead of calling a function | |
| 33 directly, the \product{dyncall} library provides a mechanism to push the function parameters | |
| 34 manually and to issue the call afterwards.\\ | |
| 35 Since the idea behind this concept is similar to call dispatching mechanisms | |
| 36 of virtual machines, the object that can be dynamically loaded with arguments, | |
| 37 and then used to actually invoke the call, is called CallVM. It is possible to | |
| 38 change the calling convention used by the CallVM at run-time. | |
| 39 Due to the fact that nearly every platform comes with one or more distinct calling | |
| 40 conventions, the \product{dyncall} library project intends to be a portable and open-source | |
| 41 approach to the variety of compiler-specific binary interfaces, platform specific | |
| 42 subtleties, and so on\ldots\\ | |
| 43 \\ | |
| 44 The core of the library consists of dynamic implementations of different | |
| 45 calling conventions written in assembler. | |
| 46 Although the library aims to be highly portable, some assembler code needs to | |
| 47 be written for nearly every platform/compiler/OS combination. | |
| 48 Unfortunately, there are architectures we just don't have at home or work. If | |
| 49 you want to see \product{dyncall} running on such a platform, feel free to send | |
| 50 in code and patches, or even to donate hardware you don't need anymore. | |
| 73 | 51 Check the \textbf{supported platforms} section for an overview of the supported |
| 0 | 52 platforms and the different calling convention sections for details about the |
| 53 support. | |
| 54 \\ | |
| 55 \begin{comment} | |
| 56 @@@ | |
| 57 A typical binary library consists of symbolic names that map to variables and | |
| 58 functions, the latter being pre-compiled for a | |
| 59 specific calling convention and architecture. Given \product{dyncall} has been ported to | |
| 60 that binary platform, it is possible to call such a function dynamically | |
| 61 without writing glue code or prototypes or even knowing its C declaration - | |
| 62 all that is needed is a pointer to it.\\ | |
| 63 To avoid confusion, note that from the point of view of the library all | |
| 64 parameters are handled the same way, even though the implementation might use | |
| 65 other ways to pass parameters in order to suit specific calling conventions.\\ | |

| 69 \subsection{Features} | |
| 70 | |
| 71 \begin{itemize} | |
| 72 \item A portable and extendable function call interface for the C programming | |
| 73 language. | |
| 74 \item Ports to major platforms including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, BSD derivates, iPhone and embedded devices and more, including lesser known and/or older platforms like Plan 9, Playstation Portable, Nintendo DS, etc.. | |
| 75 \item Add-on language bindings to Python, R, Ruby, Go, Erlang, Java, Lua, sh, ... | |
| 76 \item High-level state machine design using C to model calling convention | |
| 77 parameter transfer. | |
| 78 \item One assembly \emph{hybrid} call routine per calling convention. | |
| 79 \item Formatted call, vararg function API. | |
| 80 \item Comprehensive test suite. | |
| 81 \end{itemize} | |
| 82 | |

| 85 \subsection{Showcase} | |
| 86 | |
| 87 \paragraph{Foreign function call in C} | |
| 88 This section demonstrates how the foreign function call is issued without, and then | |
| 89 with, the help of the \product{dyncall} library and scripting language | |
| 90 bindings. | |
| 91 | |
| 92 \begin{lstlisting}[language=c,caption=Foreign function call in C] | |
| 93 double call_as_sqrt(void* funptr, double x) | |
| 94 { | |
| 95 return ( ( double (*)(double) )funptr)(x); | |
| 96 } | |
| 97 \end{lstlisting} | |
| 98 | |
| 99 \paragraph{\product{Dyncall} C library example} | |
| 100 | |
| 101 The same operation can be broken down into atomic pieces | |
| 102 (specify calling convention, binding arguments, invoking the call) | |
| 103 using the \dc\ library. | |
| 104 | |
| 105 \begin{lstlisting}[language=c,caption=Dyncall C library example] | |
| 106 #include <dyncall.h> | |
| 107 double call_as_sqrt(void* funptr, double x) | |
| 108 { | |
| 109 double r; | |
| 110 DCCallVM* vm = dcNewCallVM(4096); | |
| 111 dcMode(vm, DC_CALL_C_DEFAULT); | |
| 112 dcReset(vm); | |
| 113 dcArgDouble(vm, x); | |
| 114 r = dcCallDouble(vm, funptr); | |
| 115 dcFree(vm); | |
| 116 return r; | |
| 117 } | |
| 118 \end{lstlisting} | |
| 119 | |
| 333 | 120 This is more code than a direct, hardcoded function call, however it's completely dynamic. |
| 121 Also, despite this coming with an overhead of more executed code per single function call, | |
| 122 compared to function interface wrapper tools that generate per call glue-code less code is | |
| 123 used overall, . % might want to test this claim against swig, etc. | |
| 0 | 124 |
| 125 The following are examples from script bindings: | |
| 126 | |
| 127 \paragraph{Python example} | |
| 128 | |
| 129 \begin{lstlisting}[language=python,caption=Dyncall Python bindings example] | |
| 130 import pydc | |
| 131 def call_as_sqrt(funptr,x): | |
| 132 return pydc.call(funptr,"d)d", x) | |
| 133 \end{lstlisting} | |
| 134 | |
| 135 | |
| 136 \paragraph{R example} | |
| 137 | |
| 138 \begin{lstlisting}[language=R,caption=Dyncall R bindings example,escapeinside={TEX}{XET}] % escapeinside is a workaround for issues with '<' in lstlisting+tex4ht | |
| 139 library(rdyncall) | |
| 140 call.as.sqrt TEX\textlessXET- function(funptr,x) | |
| 141 .dyncall(funptr,"d)d", x) | |
| 142 \end{lstlisting} | |

| 147 \subsection{Supported platforms/architectures} | |
| 148 | |
| 149 The feature matrix below gives a brief overview of the currently supported | |
| 150 platforms. Different colors are used, where a green cell indicates a supported | |
| 151 platform, yellow a platform that might work (but is untested) and red a platform | |
| 152 that is currently unsupported. Gray cells are combinations that don't exist | |
| 153 at the time of writing, or that are not taken into account.\\ | |
| 154 Light green cells mark complete feature support, as in dyncall and dyncallback. Dark green means basic support but lacking features (e.g. dyncall support, but not dyncallback). | |
| 155 Please note that a green cell (even a light-green one) doesn't imply that all existing calling conventions/features/build tools are supported for that platform (but the most | |
