I am under the impression that JIT compilers do not modify the compiler’s own bytecode. They write generated code into a separate data region and mark that region as executable. If the code needs to modified, then control transfers back to the compiler which can mark the region as writable again. The same can be done for a binary and it’s own code, but I wonder if it’s used as a signal in antivirus protections if done too often. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%5EX https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%5EX
