Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes
Modifier and Type	Class	Description
`(package private) static class`	`Type.Builtin`	Types that are built-in to libffi.
`(package private) static class`	`Type.TypeInfo`	This is a lazy loaded cache of builtin type info, so we can still have Type.VOID as a public static variable without it causing the native library to load.
