- ar-nelson 4y agoYes, but it's rare to see linked libraries that use this as their API, even though it would greatly simplify FFI.
- CyberDildonics 4y agoThat's the exact point. Why would someone use a linked library if speed doesn't matter and they are passing text back and forth to be parsed? That's a terrible way to use a FFI and you would still deal with all the tricky parts. If that's what you need, you would write a separate stand alone program and call that.
