Excellent - thanks!

I'm about to commit it to both the libgcj and libffi trees.

The libffi tree is a little out of date - as most of the innovation is
going directly into libgcj/libffi.  However, I think things have
settled down enough that I'll check this all back into the libffi
tree.

Closures have been added to libffi in support of the gcj java
interpreter.  So far they've only been ported to x86 and ia-64.  A
sparc port would be wonderful (hint hint).  See
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/java .

Interesting.  What about structure fields?  So far we've been handling
all aggregate types as if they were structs.

Tromey told me he got the patch.


Thanks Jakub
