Added comprehensive FFI documentation covering: - Loading C libraries across platforms (Windows/macOS/Linux) - Calling C functions from Dart - Working with C structs using ffi.Struct - Pointer manipulation and array handling - C string conversion (UTF-8) - FFI callbacks for C->Dart function calls - Memory management best practices - Complete C to Dart type mapping reference Also updated Further Reading section with FFI resources. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Enhanced FFI documentation with production-ready patterns: - Opaque pointers for encapsulating C struct internals - Output parameters pattern (pointer-to-pointer technique) - Error handling with C return codes and Dart exceptions - Finalizers for automatic garbage collection cleanup - Multiple DynamicLibrary loading strategies - FFI wrapper class pattern with dispose and state validation These examples are based on real-world patterns from dart-libkv and demonstrate professional FFI development practices including proper resource lifecycle management and idiomatic Dart wrappers around C APIs. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
