It seems libffi does not officially support arm64-darwin. It seems to be stale WIP (libffi/libffi#621)

There seem to be to options though:

• there is a fork from apple for libffi which apparently works
• there are some patches floating around supposedly making it work (no idea how well)

Everything at first glance for now.

Or disabling libffi for this scenario by default in CMAKE.

Just tested with the newest libffi release, now it's a SEGFAULT instead. (https://github.com/lal12/txiki.js/actions/runs/8643918438/job/23697940801)

Hard to debug without a bare metal. Tried scaleway to book one online, but they didn't let me book it.

Can we try this?

Added a commit which links with the system provided libffi, but it segfaults 🙃

I fiddled around a bit. My suspicion is that all is fine with libffi, just that sprintf and dirent have different definitions on MacOS for arm. If I comment both test parts out it works fine.

I think moving all tests into our own binary testlib (as one test already is), is more robust (also considering the windows exceptions).

I see. THe sprintf part is surprising TBH, but I'm no expert 😅 I'll ignore it on macOS + arm for the time being then.

Ah, the ffi-test-lib.c file. Yeah that makes sense! Feel free to do that change when you've got the time!

Yep, you're right. At least sprintf has a wrong call in test-ffi.js. Interesting that it works on any other platform.
But I am gonna move everything to the testlib anyway.
