# tests/ffi

## Requirements

gcc for library compiling (for external-\*)

## Test Results

**External tests**

- [x] [external_math](./external_math/init.luau)
- [x] [external_pointer](./external_pointer/init.luau)
- [x] [external_print](./external_print/init.luau)
- [x] [external_struct](./external_struct/init.luau)
- [x] [external_closure](./external_closure/init.luau)

**Luau-side**

- [x] [isInteger](./isInteger)
- [x] [cast](./cast.luau)

- [ ] [pretty_print](./pretty_print)

  > need box, ref test

- [ ] [write_boundary](./write_boundary.luau)

  > Failed, need fix

- [ ] [read_boundary](./read_boundary.luau)

  > Failed, need fix

## Benchmark Results

> Note: LuaJit's os.clock function returns process CPU time (used) which much smaller then Luau's os.clock output. In this benchmark, luau uses 'time.h' instead of os.clock. See [utility/proc_clock](./utility/proc_clock/init.luau)

### [benchmark/external_call](./benchmark/external_call/init.luau)

**Target external c function**

```c
int add(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}
```
