However, many parts are, and if you follow some simple rules, you can use it safely in a multi-threaded program. </p> <ul> <li> <code>ffi_prep_cif</code> may modify the <code>ffi_type</code> objects passed to it. It is best to ensure that only a single thread prepares a given <code>ffi_cif</code> at a time. </li><li> On some platforms, <code>ffi_prep_cif</code> may modify the size and alignment of some types, depending on the chosen ABI. On these platforms, if you switch between ABIs, you must ensure that there is only one call to <code>ffi_prep_cif</code> at a time. <p>Currently the only affected platform is PowerPC and the only affected type is <code>long double</code>. </p></li></ul> </div> </body> </html>
