Re: NLFFI problem

Yes, that's a problem that I didn't finish dealing with.
I don't even know what the proper calling conventions are
for something like that in the general case with several members in a 
union.
Should I pick the largest member and use its calling convention?  
Should everything
be passed in memory somehow (i.e. by address)?  For example if the code 
is:

union u { int i; float f; };
void f (union u);

Should this be passed in a general-purpose register?  In a 
floating-point register?
In both?  In neither but in memory?  On the stack?

Any help with answering these questions would be appreciated.
