Title: Interface to libffi to dynamically invoke arbitrary compiled
        routines at run-time without compiled bindings
Author: Duncan Temple Lang

Depends: methods, RAutoGenRunTime
SystemRequirements: libffi

Description: This package allows one to use libffi to invoke compiled
        routines that are dynamically loaded into R but for which there
        are no explicitly compiled bindings. This package is both an
        interface to functionality in the libffi library, and also an
        additional layer of R classes and functionality for run-time
        interaction with native/compiled code. Byron Ellis did some
        work on this several years ago.

Note: This is an experiment. It relates to RGCCTranslationUnit and that
        is probably a better way to generate interfaces to arbitrary
        code as the resulting bindings will be better type checked and
        faster to implement. This is for dynamic invocation. The two
        packages can be used together at run-time to discover routines
        and invoke them.
