When binding FFI in wasm/native backend, it is often necessary to pass a callback function to FFI, and sometimes the FFI function must be capture free, for example Unix signal handler.
This PR adds a new package
@ffi_util
and a new type@ffi_util.RawFunction[T]
.@ffi_util.RawFunction[T]
represents capture-free toplevel function of typeT
. Note that the definition in core is merely a placeholder, the raw function type need special treatment from the compiler. So it is not usable until the compiler part is released.
