Hi Enrico,

Why are you trying to pass structs around?  SableVM doesn't need this
functionality.  All SableVM needs is to be able to pass around JNI
types, namely:

  jboolean
  jbyte
  jchar
  jshort
  jint
  jlong
  jfloat
  jdouble
  void * (i.e. pointer/reference type)

The preparation happens in _svmf_prepare_native_method_args() in
src/libsablevm/native.c.  In other words, only the following ffi types
are needed:

ffi_type_uint8    (jboolean)
ffi_type_sint8    (jbyte)
ffi_type_uint16   (jchar)
ffi_type_sint16   (jshort)
ffi_type_sint32   (jint)
ffi_type_sint64   (jlong)
ffi_type_float32  (jfloat)
ffi_type_float64  (jdouble)
ffi_type_pointer  (void *)

That's all we need.  So, we don't care if the rest doesn't work.  :-)
