// Sample showing how to do calls from C into Dart through native ports.
//
// This sample does not use FFI callbacks to do the callbacks at all. Instead,
// it sends a message to Dart through native ports, decodes the message in Dart
// does a method call in Dart and sends the result back to C through a native
// port.
//
// The disadvantage of this approach compared to `sample_async_callback.dart`
// is that it requires more boilerplate, because it does not use the automatic
// marshalling of data of the FFI.
//
// The advantage is that finalizers can be used when passing ownership of data
// (buffers) from C to Dart.

// @dart = 2.9
