Subject: libffi support for z/OS and xlc compiler?
Date: Tue, 02 Jul 2019 14:45:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3451DF60-F5DA-4FAA-8D97-37D7FB189E2C@codegentllc.com> (raw)

I implemented a minimal ability to dynamically call DLLs on z/OS using xlc, but it’s far from able to handle the full C ABI for passing  returning things like structs by value or mixing floats and doubles.  It would seem that libffi would be a more capable environment, but there doesn’t seem to be a supported z/OS port - just the OS390 UNIX ports.

Anybody know if the OS390 ABI is compatible with the z/OS ABI?  I tried a google search to see if there was any comparison documentation, but didn’t get any obvious hits.
And has anybody tried using libffi on z/OS?
