While bytecode handlers (and other builtins) are generated by TurboFan, this happens at V8-compile-time, not at runtime. Their generated code is shipped embedded into the binary as embedded builtins.

(This is interesting to me, because I haven’t seen much interest in pre-JIT compilation since the early days of Java, HotSpot, etc.)
