36000 lines of handwritten assembler in v8? Not since the transition to ignition and turbofan... $ git clone https://github.com/v8/v8.git https://github.com/v8/v8.git $ cd v8 $ find . -name '*.S' There's still some macro assembler in the built-in's but it's emitted rather than being assembler.

For both SpiderMonkey and v8, this is counting the number of calls to the MacroAssembler. SpiderMonkey commonly use the prefix "masm", while v8 uses the macro "__ " to alias the MacroAssembler. The MacroAssembler, is basically what is used to produce assembly code in both JavaScript engines.
