Subject: [PATCH] libffi: Update to version 3.8.0
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 15:39:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813133942.2669472-7-adolf.belka@ipfire.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813133942.2669472-1-adolf.belka@ipfire.org>
- Update from version 3.7.1 to 3.8.0
- Update of rootfile
- Changelog
3.8.0
New features
FFI_TYPE_VECTOR (SIMD) type support with libffi-computed layout, for aarch64 and
x86-64 (#1000, closes #773).
ffi_call_plan_size — report the total memory a reusable call plan owns, for
embedders that account for the memory held by long-lived plans.
powerpc64 ELFv2 _Complex long double support for both IBM-128 (double-double) and
IEEE-128 formats (#1003, closes #1001).
Fixes
powerpc64 big-endian ELFv2 closures returning 5-, 6-, or 7-byte structs: missing
return jump-table entries produced a wrong result and leaked a libffi code
pointer.
ia64 return-value jump-table desync after the FFI_TYPE_LAST bump, which corrupted
small-struct and HFA returns.
powerpc Darwin closure returns broken by #951 (#1002).
i386 FreeBSD/OpenBSD small structs now returned in registers (1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes),
matching the platform ABI and fixing a segfault on struct returns through
ffi_call and closures.
Performance
Cache the static trampoline "unsupported" verdict on hosts whose page size exceeds
the trampoline table mapping, avoiding redundant re-initialization on every
closure allocation (e.g. 64K-page aarch64).
