Simple extern FFI #63

@rurban

Description

@rurban

See https://github.com/perl11/potion/wiki/FFI and p2 branch ffi

  • calling convention with different ABI (syntax and code, no win64, no stdcall yet)
  • either precompile each ffi proto to a signature translation wrapper, or translate the sigs at the call ext part in the vm, similar to filling in defaults.
  • return type declaration syntax. like an optional extern int sleep(sec=N).
    or extern sleep(sec=N) => N
  • call it (vm and jit)
  • move some of compile-time parts to the VM (OP_EXTERN dlsym). currently we can only call into already loaded libs, or load a lib at compile-time (as in p2 BEGIN{})

aggregate types and header parser later
