returnCharValue is not a valid argument for ffi_call
man ffi_call
void ffi_call(ffi_cif *cif, void (*fn)(void), void *rvalue, void
**avalue);
rvalue must point to storage that is sizeof(long) or larger. For
smaller
return value sizes, the ffi_arg or ffi_sarg integral type must
be used to
hold the return value

I don't think libffi does any type promotion.
Indeed not - the sample below prints different results when run on PPC
(including Rosetta) and i386. On PPC, only the promoted version
returns the
correct result. On Intel, both of them do. The question then,
becomes -
should libffi be handling this difference transparently?
