<!-- Before submitting a PR, please read https://deno.com/manual/contributing 1. Give the PR a descriptive title. Examples of good title: - fix(std/http): Fix race condition in server - docs(console): Update docstrings - feat(doc): Handle nested reexports Examples of bad title: - fix #7123 - update docs - fix bugs 2. Ensure there is a related issue and it is referenced in the PR text. 3. Ensure there are tests that cover the changes. 4. Ensure `cargo test` passes. 5. Ensure `./tools/format.js` passes without changing files. 6. Ensure `./tools/lint.js` passes. 7. Open as a draft PR if your work is still in progress. The CI won't run all steps, but you can add '[ci]' to a commit message to force it to. 8. If you would like to run the benchmarks on the CI, add the 'ci-bench' label. --> As the title. --------- Co-authored-by: Matt Mastracci <matthew@mastracci.com> |

deno_ffi
This crate implements dynamic library ffi.
Performance
Deno FFI calls have extremely low overhead (~1ns on M1 16GB RAM) and perform on par with native code. Deno leverages V8 fast api calls and JIT compiled bindings to achieve these high speeds.
Deno.dlopen generates an optimized and a fallback path. Optimized paths are
triggered when V8 decides to optimize the function, hence call through the Fast
API. Fallback paths handle types like function callbacks and implement proper
error handling for unexpected types, that is not supported in Fast calls.
Optimized calls enter a JIT compiled function "trampoline" that translates Fast
API values directly for symbol calls. JIT compilation itself is super fast,
thanks to tinycc. Currently, the optimized path is only supported on Linux and
MacOS.
To run benchmarks:
target/release/deno bench --allow-ffi --allow-read --unstable ./test_ffi/tests/bench.js
