The libjit library implements Just-In-Time compilation functionality. Unlike
|
||
|
|
other JIT's, this one is designed to be independent of any particular virtual
|
||
|
|
machine bytecode format or language. The hope is that Free Software projects
|
||
|
|
can get a leg-up on proprietry VM vendors by using this library rather than
|
||
|
|
spending large amounts of time writing their own JIT from scratch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This JIT is also designed to be portable to multiple archictures. If you run
|
||
|
|
libjit on a machine for which a native code generator is not yet available,
|
||
|
|
then libjit will fall back to interpreting the code. This way, you don't need
|
||
|
|
to write your own interpreter for your bytecode format if you don't want to.
