[MLton-devel] cvs commit: x86 codegen support for calling SML from C

[Stephen Weeks]

>   After some thought and experiments, it turned out that it suffices to
>   completely embed the call to and return from SML in inline assembly in
>   the MLton_callFromC function.  The call to SML works just like in
>   main; the return from SML looks like a C call to Thread_returnFromC
>   from the SML/codegen point of view, but is implemented by putting the
>   Thread_returnFromC in the MLton_callFromC inline assembly.  

Neat!
