JIT Assembler Library for Multiple ISAs

• stcredzero 11y ago
  I wonder if they know about TAOS and its virtual ISA JIT VM? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9806607 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9806607

  This looks like the very start of a project that's not far along (and hasn't been updated in a year). Why is it interesting at this stage?
  • hlide 11y ago
    yeah, it is an experimental project which isn't even multi-platform right now. There are some parts I don't like and have not a lot of time to rework it.

  How is it validated? I have yet to discover something more frustrating than debugging a code generation bug that's actually an assembler bug.
  • hlide 11y ago
    there is a define to uncomment for generating instructions and decoding them with capstone to check whether they are valid. I mean there is main to output them on stdout so you can check.

  How does this compare with numerous other similar things (LLVM, libJIT, Lightning, etc.)?
  • hlide 11y ago
    not usable

  The close parallel is AsmJit: https://github.com/kobalicek/asmjit https://github.com/kobalicek/asmjit. I'm curious how it compares.
