has gloss | eng: A foreign function interface (or ) is a mechanism by which a program written in one programming language can call routines or make use of services written in another. The term comes from the specification for Common Lisp, which explicitly refers to the language features for inter-language calls as such; the term is also used officially by the Haskell programming language. Other languages use other terminology (the Ada programming language talks about "language bindings", while Java refers to its as the Java Native Interface, or JNI). Foreign function interface has become generic terminology for mechanisms which provide such services. |

El término procede de la especificación de Common Lisp, aunque también se usa oficialmente en Haskell. Otros lenguajes usan otra terminología, así, el lenguaje Ada habla de "language bindings", mientras que en Java se denomina Java Native Interface, or JNI. No obstante, se suele hablar de forma genérica de Foreign function interface para referirse a estos mecanismos. |
